Questions tagged [filechooser]

A GUI component that allows to navigate over the file system, selecting files and folders of interest.

Usually file chooser is similar to the file explorer. It allows to navigate over the file system, selecting files and folders of interest or to specify yet non-existing files in the existing folder ("Save as").

File chooser can often be configured to show only set of selected file types, allow or disallow multiple selection and allow or disallow selection of folders rather than files.

This component is present in libraries of many languages.
