Miller-column file system browser

style can be open or save

selections are always a list, even if multiple is 0

initialdir is where the browser points to at start

initialfile is the file/directory name that will initially appear in the type-in widget.

dirsOnly controls whether the browser shows files or not.

filters is a (possibly empty) list of tuples: (type description, glob(s)) [for open panels] or (type description, glob(s), extension) [for save panels]. The type description is used in the interface to describe the filtering (should be something like "PDB") and is returned when the type method is called. glob(s) can be either a single glob string or a list of such strings. The glob(s) are used to filter the files (directories if dirOnly is true) shown in the browser. If dirsOnly is true, globs will have / appended if they don't already end in /. Glob matching is always case- insensitive. By default, extension will be appended to the save file name if no extension is specified (and therefore typically begins with a .). The user can override this behavior. extension can be None. filters can be an empty tuple if no filtering is needed.

defaultFilter controls what filter is initially on. It is an index into the filters list. Can be one of the filter descriptions or a menu index. Negative indices count from the end of the menu.

addAll controls whether an all files (or directories) choice will be added to the list of filters (only will be added if list of filters is non-empty)

historyID is used to keep a per-dialog file history list. It should be a string that differs between browsers that open/save different files. For example, "main chimera file open" or "FindHBond file save".

compressed controls whether compressed files are shown in the browser. By default, compressed files are shown in browsers whose style is open. Files are considered to be compressed if they have a suffix in compressSuffixes.

kw are passed to the Tkinter.Frame constructor

Base Classes   

MillerBrowser
  Tkinter.Frame

Methods   
  getPathsAndTypes 
getPathsAndTypes ( self,  remember=1 )

Get the path(s) indicated in the browser, and their types.

Returns a (possibly empty) list of path/type two-tuples. If remember is true, then the paths will be remembered in the list of file and directory favorites. Note that the list can't be empty if used from one of the OpenSave classes, since those classes will not enable the Open/ Save button unless the path is valid.

Since this method may query the user for types, it should only be called once per dialog use

  makeFaveFiles 
makeFaveFiles ( self )
  __init__ 
__init__ (
        self,
        parent=None,
        style='open',
        multiple=0,
        initialdir=None,
        initialfile=None,
        dirsOnly=0,
        filters=[],
        defaultFilter=-1,
        addAll=1,
        readyCommand=None,
        dblClickCommand=None,
        setFilterCommand=None,
        fileEntryCommand=None,
        historyID="",
        compressed=None,
        **kw,
        )
  rememberFile 
rememberFile ( self,  fileName )

Put a file in the list of file favorites

  makeFaveDirs 
makeFaveDirs ( self )
  columnChange 
columnChange ( self,  event )
  destroy 
destroy ( self )
  setPath 
setPath ( self,  path )

Set the path shown in the browser

One normally use the initialdir keyword to __init__ to set up the initial browser path. setPath is used if the path must be changed programatically after that.

  getPaths 
getPaths ( self,  remember=1 )

Get the path(s) indicated in the browser.

Returns a (possibly empty) list of paths. If remember is true, then the paths will be remembered in the list of file and directory favorites.

  getFilter 
getFilter ( self )

Get the type description associated with the current filter.

  pathExists 
pathExists ( self,  path )

Due to the vagaries of Windows network shares, must use this instead of os.path.exists

  newFolder 
newFolder ( self )
  rememberDir 
rememberDir ( self,  dirName )

Put a directory in the list of directory favorites

  setFilter 
setFilter (
        self,
        descript,
        filt=None,
        )

Set the file filtering in the browser.

The defaultFilter keyword of __init__ is normally used to set up initial filtering, so this is only used if the filtering must be changed programatically after that.

descript is the type description associated with the filter. filt is for internal use only.

Exceptions   

KeyError, "No filter named '%s'" %( descript )

  allowingCompressed 
allowingCompressed ( self )
  addFilter 
addFilter (
        self,
        filterInfo,
        index=-1,
        )

Add the given filter to the list of filters.

filterInfo is the same format as a single entry of the filters keyword of __init__. index is where in the list of filter to insert the new filter (same format as defaultFilter keyword of __init__).

  newFolderCB 
newFolderCB ( self,  button )
Exceptions   

ValueError, "Empty new folder name"

  makeFilterMenu 
makeFilterMenu ( self )
  makeMainColumn 
makeMainColumn (
        self,
        path,
        errorPath=None,
        firstTime=False,
        )
