Tk Source Code

Here's the *nix and Win implementation for the
-initialtype tip. I'm assuming the macosx impl. will be
just as trivial.

I was trying to implement this, but it turns out that changes in tkfbox.tcl since the patch have affected it's applicability.  Please review - if we can get it done in the next week, it can go in.  If you diff against 8.5a3 you get the relevant actual changes.  That works for xmfbox.tcl, but not tkfbox.tcl (didn't check the .c as I was stymied by tkfbox.tcl).

Updated tkfbox.tcl to clear filter menubutton when filetypes is empty.

File Added - 137337: filebox.test

Updated filebox.test to reflect changes and add test for new option.

The new test uncovered a quirk (bug?) in the tkfbox that I've also fixed 
(new tkfbox.tcl to follow).

quirk: call tk_getOpenFile with a filetypes list. On the next call, use an 
empty filetypes list. The filter menu is disabled, but the grayed text still 
displays the last filter setting, even though this call contains no filters.

Removing previous mac implementation.

I fixed a coding problem pointed out by Jim Ingham.  I also cleaned up 
warnings and two spots, lines 1013, 1037 where the warnings look like 
coding errors.  Someone should look at these and verify.

Here's the Strict Motif version for this TIP.

Here's the macosx flavor. Later I'll try to add filetypes filtering to 
tk_getSaveFile (currently disabled). It now makes sense now since users 
can read the selected format.

I think that would be useful, but not a requirement to finish.

Here's the man page.

The Mac changes are in progress.  I should have those
tonight, hopefully. Question: currently tk_getSaveFile
ignores the filtertypes on Mac, but this enhancement makes
filtertypes useful on a Mac. Should I try and get this in also?

Is OS X far behind?  I'd like to not add them to 8.5a3
unless there are symmetric implementations

Here's the Windows implementation.

Here's the modified tkfbox.tcl for Unix as per the approved TIP.  I'm still 
working on Windows and Mac OS X, and the documentation.
