gtkFileChooserSetUri {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkFileChooserSetUri

### Description

Sets the file referred to by `uri` as the current file for the file chooser, by changing to the URI's parent folder and actually selecting the URI in the list. If the `chooser` is `GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE` mode, the URI's base name will also appear in the dialog's file name entry.

### Usage

    gtkFileChooserSetUri(object, uri)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkFileChooser`
``uri`` | the URI to set as current

### Details

If the URI isn't in the current folder of `chooser`, then the current folder of `chooser` will be changed to the folder containing `uri`. This is equivalent to a sequence of `gtkFileChooserUnselectAll` followed by `gtkFileChooserSelectUri`.

Note that the URI must exist, or nothing will be done except for the directory change. If you are implementing a File/Save As... dialog, you should use this function if you already have a file name to which the user may save; for example, when the user opens an existing file and then does File/Save As... on it. If you don't have a file name already – for example, if the user just created a new file and is saving it for the first time, do not call this function. Instead, use something similar to this:

    if (document_is_new)
      {
        /* the user just created a new document */
        gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder_uri (chooser, default_folder_for_saving);
        gtk_file_chooser_set_current_name (chooser, "Untitled document");
      }
    else
      {
        /* the user edited an existing document */
        gtk_file_chooser_set_uri (chooser, existing_uri);
      }

Since 2.4

### Value

[logical] `TRUE` if both the folder could be changed and the URI was selected successfully, `FALSE` otherwise.
