oops, left a little important bit out of the readFiles() routine, i.e., the
actual traversal/processing of the selected folders. this routine should
read:
static void readFiles()
{ // called on user selection from GtkFileChooser
GSList *selected, *sel;
sel = selected =
gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(fileSel));
while(selected)
{
getFiles(selected->data);
g_free(selected->data);
selected=selected->next;
}
g_slist_free(sel);
}
