Simple file navigator view not tied to dialogs (1.6 only)
-
Is there one before I start hacking filenav
-
Filenav doesn't actually use dialogs. At one point I think it tries to
import dialogsto check whether it's running on the 1.6 beta, and if so it... loads the icon for the .Trash folder. Why I didn't useos.path.existsthere I have no idea. -
-
uidirwas a temporary hack that i always intended to improve upon... it is quite buggy, for instance i think when you reach a folder that it can't access it gets horribly confused. Also the back button is dodgy at best. You are welcome to make it better, but i wouldn't rely on it for anything important! -
So I've noticed. Need to see how filnav behaves.
-
There's a simplified version in the filenav repo that does only folder navigation and nothing else. That is based on the first public version of filenav, so the under-the-hood code is much more simple than it is currently.

i fixed a few of the longstanding bugs in uidir --
getFilenow works as it should without using the setter option, although from within a callback you'd want to pass in a setter method, which gets called when the user selects a folder. Back buttons don't screw things up anymore, and unreachable folders now just display an error, rather than staying unreachable. I also added quick buttons for thepylibfolder andDocumentsfolder.
