I'm wondering if anyone knows how to use askopenfiles() from tkinter.filedialog to move a file to another folder? If so can I have an example

  • What code do you already have? `askopenfile` puts up a dialog that asks the user to choose a file. That's all it does. It doesn't do any moving. You have to do that yourself. – Tim Roberts Aug 04 '21 at 23:39

  • I know tried getting the file with askopenfile() and moving it with os but nothing works @Keon – Zinnedd Aug 04 '21 at 23:50
  • Please show what you've tried. Your question is unclear since there are countless examples on the internet for how to use `askopenfile`. – Bryan Oakley Aug 05 '21 at 00:52
  • Stack Overflow is not intended to replace existing tutorials and documentation, and is not a discussion forum. The way to answer your question is to put something like `tkinter askopenfile` into a search engine; and if you don't understand what is written there, you should try asking somewhere like Reddit or Quora unless you have a *specific* question with a code example. – Karl Knechtel Aug 05 '21 at 01:08

Nevermind I was using the wrong function, askopenfile() does not working with moving funtions in os such as os.rename or shutil.move, I had to use askopenfilename() instead so it looks like this.

def getv():
    shutil.move(str(askopenfilename()), 'C:\\Users\\ezedd\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Python Projects\\Converter')
