DESCRIPTION

Curses::UI::Dialog::Dirbrowser is a dirbrowser dialog. This type of dialog can be used to select a directory, anywhere on the filesystem.

See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Dirbrowser in the distribution for a short demo.

OPTIONS

*

-title < TEXT >

Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

*

-path < PATH >

Set the path to start with to PATH. If this path does not exist, the filebrowser will start in the rootdirectory.

*

-show_hidden < BOOLEAN >

If BOOLEAN has a true value, hidden files (the filename starts with a dot) will also be shown. By default this option is set to false.

METHODS

*

new ( OPTIONS )

*

layout ( )

*

draw ( BOOLEAN )

*

focus ( )

These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.

*

get ( )

This method will return the complete path to the file that was selected using the filebrowser. If no file was selected, this method will return an undefined value.

SPECIAL BINDINGS

*

escape

This will invoke the cancel button, so the filebrowser widget returns without selecting any file.

*

~

If the directory- or filelistbox of the dialog window has the focus and the tilde (~) button is pressed, the filebrowser will chdir to the homedirectory of the current user.
