This signal gets emitted whenever it is appropriate to present a
confirmation dialog when the user has selected a file name that
already exists. The signal only gets emitted when the file
chooser is in %GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE mode.
Most applications just need to turn on the
#GtkFileChooser:do-overwrite-confirmation property (or call the
gtk_file_chooser_set_do_overwrite_confirmation() function), and
they will automatically get a stock confirmation dialog.
Applications which need to customize this behavior should do
that, and also connect to the #GtkFileChooser::confirm-overwrite
signal.
A signal handler for this signal must return a
#GtkFileChooserConfirmation value, which indicates the action to
take. If the handler determines that the user wants to select a
different filename, it should return
%GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_SELECT_AGAIN. If it determines
that the user is satisfied with his choice of file name, it
should return %GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_ACCEPT_FILENAME.
On the other hand, if it determines that the stock confirmation
dialog should be used, it should return
%GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_CONFIRM. The following example
illustrates this.
if (is_uri_read_only (uri))
{
if (user_wants_to_replace_read_only_file (uri))
return GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_ACCEPT_FILENAME;
else
return GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_SELECT_AGAIN;
} else
return GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_CONFIRMATION_CONFIRM; // fall back to the default dialog
}
