gtk.app_chooser

Module for [AppChooser] interface

Types 2

interfaceAppChooser

#GtkAppChooser is an interface that can be implemented by widgets which allow the user to choose an application (typically for the purpose of opening a file). The main objects that implement this interface are #GtkAppChooserWidget, #GtkAppChooserDialog and #GtkAppChooserButton.

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 [gtk.app_chooser.AppChooser.getAppInfo].
