Sets @file as the current filename for the file chooser, by changing
to the file’s parent folder and actually selecting the file in list. If
the @chooser is in %GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE mode, the file’s base name
will also appear in the dialog’s file name entry.
If the file name isn’t in the current folder of @chooser, then the current
folder of @chooser will be changed to the folder containing @filename. This
is equivalent to a sequence of gtk_file_chooser_unselect_all() followed by
gtk_file_chooser_select_filename().
Note that the file must exist, or nothing will be done except
for the directory change.
If you are implementing a save dialog,
you should use this function if you already have a file name to which the
user may save; for example, when the user opens an existing file and then
does Save As... If you don’t have
a file name already — for example, if the user just created a new
file and is saving it for the first time, do not call this function.
Instead, use something similar to this:
|[<!-- language="C" -->
if (document_is_new)
{
// the user just created a new document
gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder_file (chooser, default_file_for_saving);
gtk_file_chooser_set_current_name (chooser, "Untitled document");
}
else
{
// the user edited an existing document
gtk_file_chooser_set_file (chooser, existing_file);
}
]|
