File selection dialog

Description

The file selection dialog is used to select a file to be opened or used by a program. In this dialog, you can go through the file system hierarchy. For the selected directory or folder, a list of files present is shown of which one can be selected. Sometimes more than one file can be selected. The actual layout of the fileselection dialog can differ depending on the operating system the program is running on.

The default ClassyTk file selection dialog contains two listboxes. The left one contains the subdirectories in the current directory. The right one contains the files. Double clicking on a file will select it. Single clicking will add it to the list in the 'File' entry under the listboxes. The top entry labeled 'Filter' can be used to limit the listing of files to those matching the filter.
