Replacing native dialogs

If you feel brave, you can replace the native dialogs everywhere in the system by running:

FDMorphicUIManager new beDefault

Of course you can switch back anytime you want.

MorphicUIManager new beDefault

Classes

• FDSaveFileDialog - saving a file
• FDOpenFileDialog - selecting a file
• FDOpenDirectoryDialog - selecting a directory

API

The user-facing API is in the api-customization protocol of FDFileDialogPresenter

• defaultFolder: aPath — where should the dialog open, the default is the imageDirectory
• filtersCustomization: aCollectionOfFDAbstractPredicate — a collection of FDAbstractPredicate
• bookmarks: aCollectionOfBookmark _ see bookmark example class side of FileDialog
• okActionBlock: aBlock — a one arg block executed when a file was selected
• previewer: aPreviewer _ a son of FDAbstractPreviewer that returning a Spec widget
• columns: aCollectionOfColumns _ you have to give a collection of subclass of FDAbstractFileReferenceColumn

Examples

Open a file with previewer:

FDOpenFileDialog new
	previewer: FDInspectPreviewer new;
	openDialog.

Save a file

FDSaveFileDialog new openDialog 

Adding bookmarks

FDOpenFileDialog new
	bookmarks: {

		(FDGroupBookMark
				name: 'exampleGroup'
				collection:
					{FDBookmark image.
					FDBookmark home}
				iconName: 'group') };
