Fyne: Possible to get a native file chooser

[Jacalz]

I am sorry if this feature already exists, but I couldn’t find it when looking through the godoc reference. Using gtk with Gotk3 there is a widget for a FileChooserButton that lets the user choose a file, folder and such. This is really useful and powerful when needing simple file handling, would it be possible to have that support here?

My use case in gotk3 is that I have the button set for choosing a file and then I use a method for the created variable to get the whole path for that file to then pass in to a os.Open call.

Thanks @celer that seems like it might do the trick for me until there is proper support in fyne 🙂

This is a feature that is coming. We have plans to finish a data API soon and that will come with widgets such as lists that are cached for performance. We also have plans to have file mimetype support and icons. With that - we will easily be able to provide a file chooser dialog.

Yes, I think this is a duplicate of #225
