Class

GtkDirectoryList

Description [src]

final class Gtk.DirectoryList : GObject.Object
  implements Gio.ListModel {
  /* 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::notify
