Class
GtkDirectoryList
Description [src]
final class Gtk.DirectoryList : GObject.Object {
/* No available fields */
}GtkDirectoryList is a list model that wraps g_file_enumerate_children_async().
It presents a GListModel and fills it asynchronously with the GFileInfos
returned from that function.
Enumeration will start automatically when a the
GtkDirectoryList:file property is set.
While the GtkDirectoryList is being filled, the
GtkDirectoryList:loading property will be set to TRUE. You can
listen to that property if you want to show information like a GtkSpinner
or a “Loading…” text.
If loading fails at any point, the GtkDirectoryList:error
property will be set to give more indication about the failure.
The GFileInfos returned from a GtkDirectoryList have the “standard::file”
attribute set to the GFile they refer to. This way you can get at the file
that is referred to in the same way you would via g_file_enumerator_get_child().
This means you do not need access to the GtkDirectoryList, but can access
the GFile directly from the GFileInfo when operating with a GtkListView
or similar.

Signals
Signals inherited from GObject (1)
GObject.Object::notify
The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.
Signals inherited from GListModel (1)
Gio.ListModel::items-changed
This signal is emitted whenever items were added to or removed
from list. At position, removed items were removed and added
items were added in their place.
