AppChooser
Deprecated since version 4.10: The application selection widgets should be implemented according to the design of each platform and/or application requiring them.
- class AppChooser(*args, **kwargs)
Implementations: AppChooserButton, AppChooserDialog, AppChooserWidget
GtkAppChooser is an interface for widgets which allow the user to
choose an application.
The main objects that implement this interface are
AppChooserWidget,
AppChooserDialog and AppChooserButton.
Applications are represented by GIO GAppInfo objects here.
GIO has a concept of recommended and fallback applications for a
given content type. Recommended applications are those that claim
to handle the content type itself, while fallback also includes
applications that handle a more generic content type. GIO also
knows the default and last-used application for a given content
type. The GtkAppChooserWidget provides detailed control over
whether the shown list of applications should include default,
recommended or fallback applications.
To obtain the application that has been selected in a GtkAppChooser,
use get_app_info.
Methods
- class AppChooser
- get_app_info() AppInfo | None
Returns the currently selected application.
Deprecated since version 4.10: This widget will be removed in GTK 5
