If you need a more versatile file dialog widget, you might want to consider wrapping an existing tcl widget for tkinter, this is usually rather easy once you understand how it is done (all you need is mostly the man page and a little time) and might save you a lot of headaches. One example that might be interisting is here: http://chiselapp.com/user/schelte/repository/fsdialog/index You might also want to try the Tix.ExFileSelectDialog, it is rather dated, but actually has a switch to toggle hidden files on/off and wildcard filtering capabilities. Unfortunately here with debian jessie I can only test it with Tcl, with python for some reason I get a segfault :-( Best regards Michael .-.. .. ...- . .-.. --- -. --. .- -. -.. .--. .-. --- ... .--. . .-. I realize that command does have its fascination, even under circumstances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command nor am I frightened of it. It simply exists, and I will do whatever logically needs to be done. -- Spock, "The Galileo Seven", stardate 2812.7 _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
