Better File Dialog for Linux

Open benjamin-kirkbride opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

          TIL that it tk uses native file dialogs on not-linux...

Yes, agree completely with everything @rdbende said. My thoughts is it should work like this:

  1. if windows or mac use default filedialog as now; if linux continue
  2. check config to see what user wants to do; if no config set continue
  3. try zenity
  4. try kdialog
  5. try tkfilebrowser (optional install?)
  6. fallback to default tk.filedialog
