SwingDialog

Note: please use the abstraction layer GUI.dialog if possible! (see GUI)

SwingDialog is a factory class for displaying file selection dialogs.

Dialog for Opening Files

	SwingDialog.getPaths( <okFunc>, <cancelFunc>, <maxSize = 20> )
	

Displays an Open File Dialog. If ok is pressed then okFunc is evaluated with the selected paths passed as an Array of Strings as the first argument. If cancel is pressed then cancelFunc is evaluated. maxSize is the maximum number of files which may be selected.

Note: at the moment, only one file is returned. this is a limitation of java.awt.FileDialog. one could alternatively use javax.swing.JFileChooser, but that is extremely awfully implemented in Apple's VM.

(
SwingDialog.getPaths({ arg paths;
    paths.do({ arg p;
        p.postln;
    })
},{
    "cancelled".postln;
});
)

Dialog for Saving a File

	SwingDialog.savePanel( <okFunc>, <cancelFunc> )
	

Displays a Save File Dialog. If ok is pressed then okFunc is evaluated with the selected path passed as a String as the first argument. If cancel is pressed then cancelFunc is evaluated.

(
SwingDialog.savePanel({ arg path;
    path.postln;
},{
    "cancelled".postln;
});
)
