Signal

GtkFileChooser::update-preview

Declaration

void
update_preview (
  GtkFileChooser* self,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

This signal is emitted when the preview in a file chooser should be regenerated. For example, this can happen when the currently selected file changes. You should use this signal if you want your file chooser to have a preview widget.

Once you have installed a preview widget with gtk_file_chooser_set_preview_widget(), you should update it when this signal is emitted. You can use the functions gtk_file_chooser_get_preview_filename() or gtk_file_chooser_get_preview_uri() to get the name of the file to preview. Your widget may not be able to preview all kinds of files; your callback must call gtk_file_chooser_set_preview_widget_active() to inform the file chooser about whether the preview was generated successfully or not.

Please see the example code in [Using a Preview Widget][gtkfilechooser-preview].

Default handler:

The default handler is called after the handlers added via g_signal_connect().
