## File Open API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `pfd::save_file` class handles file saving dialogs. It can be provided a title, a starting
|
||
|
|
directory and/or pre-selected file, an optional filter for recognised file types, and an optional
|
||
|
|
flag to allow multiple selection:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
pfd::save_file::save_file(std::string const &title,
|
||
|
|
std::string const &initial_path,
|
||
|
|
std::vector<std::string> filters = { "All Files", "*" },
|
||
|
|
pfd::opt option = pfd::opt::none);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `option` parameter can be `pfd::opt::force_overwrite` to disable a potential warning when
|
||
|
|
saving to an existing file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The selected file is queried using `pfd::save_file::result()`. If the user canceled the
|
||
|
|
operation, the returned file name is empty:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
std::string pfd::save_file::result();
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is possible to ask the file save dialog whether the user took action using the
|
||
|
|
`pfd::message::ready()` method, with an optional `timeout` argument. If the user did not validate
|
||
|
|
the dialog within `timeout` milliseconds, the function will return `false`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
bool pfd::save_file::ready(int timeout = pfd::default_wait_timeout);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example 1: simple file selection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using `pfd::save_file::result()` will wait for user action before returning. This operation will
|
||
|
|
block and return the user choice:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
auto destination = pfd::save_file("Select a file").result();
|
||
|
|
if (!destination.empty())
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "User selected file " << destination << "\n";
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example 2: filters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The filter list enumerates filter names and corresponded space-separated wildcard lists. It
|
||
|
|
defaults to `{ "All Files", "*" }`, but here is how to use other options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
auto destination = pfd::save_file("Select a file", ".",
|
||
|
|
{ "Image Files", "*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.bmp",
|
||
|
|
"Audio Files", "*.wav *.mp3",
|
||
|
|
"All Files", "*" },
|
||
|
|
pfd::opt::force_overwrite).result();
|
||
|
|
// Do something with destination
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "Selected file: " << destination << "\n";
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example 3: asynchronous file save
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using `pfd::save_file::ready()` allows the application to perform other tasks while waiting for
|
||
|
|
user input:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
// File save dialog
|
||
|
|
auto dialog = pfd::save_file("Select file to save");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Do something while waiting for user input
|
||
|
|
while (!dialog.ready(1000))
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "Waited 1 second for user input...\n";
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Act depending on the user choice
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "User selected file: " << dialog.result() << "\n";
|
||
|
|
```
