Hello, In the Gtkmm application I'm working on the user always has to switch the sort order of the file chooser dialog to account for the file naming scheme employed here. Therefore I searched for ways to alter the sort order of the FileChooserDialog so that it sorts the files displayed by date instead of by name. However, I could not find a function in the class reference that would provide that functionality.
A different approach was to add the FileChooserDialog as a member to my main window so that it doesn't get destroyed, hoping that upon reopening the state would be kept during a program session. This keeps the folder selected but not the sort order which resorts to sort-by-name. I'm running out of ideas, so a little help in answering one of the questions would be very appreciated: Is this functionality (change sort-order) available at all in Gtkmm? If not, is there maybe a hack to achieve the same under Linux/Gnome? Is it "good practice" to keep a dialog as a member to preserve its state? Thanks, Ludwig _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
