Detailed Description

A filter for selecting a file subset.

A Gtk::FileFilter can be used to restrict the files being shown in a Gtk::FileChooser. Files can be filtered based on their name (with add_pattern()), on their MIME type (with add_mime_type()), or by a custom filter function (with add_custom()).

Filtering by MIME types handles aliasing and subclassing of MIME types; e.g. a filter for text/plain also matches a file with MIME type application/rtf, since application/rtf is a subclass of text/plain. Note that Gtk::FileFilter allows wildcards for the subtype of a MIME type, so you can e.g. filter for image/ *.

Filters are used by adding them to a Gtk::FileChooser. See Gtk::FileChooser::add_filter().

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_mime_type()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_mime_type ( const Glib::ustring & mime_type )

Adds a rule allowing a given mime type to filter.

Parameters

mime_type Name of a MIME type.

◆ add_pattern()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_pattern ( const Glib::ustring & pattern )

Adds a rule allowing a shell style glob to a filter.

Note that it depends on the platform whether pattern matching ignores case or not. On Windows, it does, on other platforms, it doesn't.

Parameters

pattern A shell style glob.

◆ add_pixbuf_formats()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_pixbuf_formats ( )

Adds a rule allowing image files in the formats supported by GdkPixbuf.

This is equivalent to calling add_mime_type() for all the supported mime types.

◆ add_suffix()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_suffix ( const std::string & suffix )

Adds a suffix match rule to a filter.

This is similar to adding a match for the pattern "*. @a suffix".

In contrast to pattern matches, suffix matches are always case-insensitive.

Since gtkmm 4.4:

Parameters

suffix Filename suffix to match.

◆ create()

static Glib::RefPtr<FileFilter> Gtk::FileFilter::create ( )

static

◆ get_name()

Glib::ustring Gtk::FileFilter::get_name ( ) const

Gets the human-readable name for the filter.

See set_name().

Returns: The human-readable name of the filter.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gtk::FileFilter::get_type ( )

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GtkFileFilter* Gtk::FileFilter::gobj ( )

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GtkFileFilter* Gtk::FileFilter::gobj ( ) const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj_copy()

GtkFileFilter* Gtk::FileFilter::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

◆ operator=()

FileFilter& Gtk::FileFilter::operator= ( FileFilter && src )

noexcept

◆ property_name() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::ustring > Gtk::FileFilter::property_name ( )

The human-readable name of the filter.

This is the string that will be displayed in the file chooser user interface if there is a selectable list of filters.

Default value: ""

Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_name() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gtk::FileFilter::property_name ( ) const

The human-readable name of the filter.

This is the string that will be displayed in the file chooser user interface if there is a selectable list of filters.

Default value: ""

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ set_name()

void Gtk::FileFilter::set_name ( const Glib::ustring & name )

Sets a human-readable name of the filter.

This is the string that will be displayed in the file chooser if there is a selectable list of filters.

Parameters

name	The human-readable-name for the filter, or `nullptr` to remove any existing name.

◆ wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::FileFilter > wrap	(	GtkFileFilter *	object,
		bool	take_copy = `false`
	)

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

object	The C instance.
take_copy	False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns: A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
