GFileBrowser

The free open-source FileBrowser for Unity is now available for download. It uses the integrated UI System (from 5.1) and is fully customizable due to the use of prefabs.

Installation

Clone the repository and take a look at the example project. The most important part of the filebrowser is Resources/FileBrowser (Contains the prefabs and the textures) and the Scripts folder, so you might as well copy them to your current project and use them accordingly :)

Usage

1. Add using GFB; at the top of your script.
2. Create a MonoBehaviour script and call GFileBrowser.Init(gameobject) where the gameobject should be your Canvas (or some child of your Canvas).
3. Create a callback function like this :

void onFileSelected(GBase file) {
       // Do stuff here with file.Name and file.Path  
}

4. Assign the callback function to the GFileBrowser with GFileBrowser.onFileSelected = onFileSelected;
5. Show the dialog with GFileBrowser.ShowDialog(root) where root is a string that indicates the first path that the user will see when the dialog shows up. A good default value could be "C:\".

GFileBrowser contains also some extra functions that might be useful to you such as

• AddToIgnore(string Name) Adds to the ignore list the name of the file-folder that you passed in the parameter so that it doesn't show up in the browser.
• Navigate(string Path) Navigates the browser to the parameter Path
• HideDialog() Hides the dialog (filebrowser) from the user at anytime.
• FileOrder enum that specifies the order in which the folders-files should appear in the browser. Possible values are : FirstFolders, FirstFiles. The default is FirstFolders
