### 11`` Finder

(finder:dialog-parent-parameter)
→ (or/c false/c (is-a?/c dialog%) (is-a?/c frame%))
(finder:dialog-parent-parameter parent) → void?
parent : (or/c false/c (is-a?/c dialog%) (is-a?/c frame%))

This parameter determines the parent of the dialogs created by finder:get-file, finder:put-file, finder:common-get-file, finder:common-put-file, finder:common-get-file-list, finder:std-get-file, and finder:std-put-file.

(finder:default-extension) → string?
(finder:default-extension extension) → void?
extension : string?

This parameter controls the default extension for the framework’s finder:put-file dialog. Its value gets passed as the default-extension argument to put-file.

Its default value is "".

(finder:default-filters) → (listof (list/c string? string?))
(finder:default-filters filters) → void?
filters : (listof (list/c string? string?))

This parameter controls the default filters for the framework’s finder:put-file dialog. Its value gets passed as the default-filters argument to put-file.

Its default value is '(("Any" "*.*")).

This procedure queries the user for a single filename, using a platform-independent dialog box. Consider using finder:put-file instead of this function.

This procedure queries the user for a single filename, using a platform-independent dialog box. Consider using finder:get-file instead of this function.

This procedure queries the user for a single filename, using a platform-dependent dialog box. Consider using finder:put-file instead of this function.

| parent |  | : |  | (or/c (is-a?/c top-level-window<%>) false/c)

Queries the user for a filename.

If the result of (preferences:get 'framework:file-dialogs) is 'std this calls finder:std-put-file, and if it is 'common, finder:common-put-file is called.

parent : (or/c false/c (is-a?/c top-level-window<%>)) = #f

Queries the user for a filename.

If the result of (preferences:get 'framework:file-dialogs) is 'std this calls finder:std-get-file, and if it is 'common, finder:common-get-file is called.

(finder:common-get-file-list | [ | directory |

| filter-msg |  | : |  | string?
|  |  | = |  | "That filename does not have the right form."

parent : (or/c false/c (is-a?/c top-level-window<%>)) = #f

This procedure queries the user for a list of filenames, using a platform-independent dialog box.
