NSOpenPanel - Set file type?


Just looking on what I would use to only allow specific files to be selected (Images for now)

setFileTypesArray returns

NSOpenPanel may not respond to -setFileTypesArray:

and then the panel doesn't open up at all. Heres my code:

    NSArray  * fileTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"png",@"tiff",@"baz",nil];

NSLog(@"Button Pressed");
[textField setStringValue:@"Test"];
int i; // Loop counter.

NSOpenPanel* openDlg = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];

[openDlg setCanChooseFiles:YES];
[openDlg setFileTypesArray:fileTypes];

Thanks.


Solution

  • You're looking for a delegate method from NSSaveOpenPanel's delegate

    -(BOOL)panel:(id)sender shouldShowFilename:(NSString *)filename
    {
            NSString* ext = [filename pathExtension];
            if (ext == @"" || ext == @"/" || ext == nil || ext == NULL || [ext length] < 1) {
                    return TRUE;
            }
    
            NSLog(@"Ext: '%@'", ext);
    
            NSEnumerator* tagEnumerator = [[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"png", @"tiff", @"jpg", @"gif", @"jpeg", nil] objectEnumerator];
            NSString* allowedExt;
            while ((allowedExt = [tagEnumerator nextObject]))
            {
                    if ([ext caseInsensitiveCompare:allowedExt] == NSOrderedSame)
                    {
                            return TRUE;
                    }
            }
    
            return FALSE;
    }
    

    Then, set your panel's delegate to "self", or wherever your define this method above.
