nfd-rs

nfd-rs is a Rust binding to the library nativefiledialog, that provides a convenient cross-platform interface to opening file dialogs on Linux, OS X and Windows.

This crate has been tested on Mac, Window and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) and supports single/mutliple and save dialogs, notice APIs may break with newer versions.

Usage

  • Add the dependency nfd in your Cargo.toml

    [dependencies]
    nfd = "0.0.4"
  • Open a single file dialog

    extern crate nfd;
    
    use nfd::Response;
    
    fn main() {
    
      let result = nfd::open_file_dialog(None, None).unwrap_or_else(|e| {
      	panic!(e);
      });
    
      match result {
          Response::Okay(file_path) => println!("File path = {:?}", file_path),
          Response::OkayMultiple(files) => println!("Files {:?}", files),
          Response::Cancel => println!("User canceled"),
      }
    }
  • Open a multi file dialog using builder with jpg files as filter

    extern crate nfd;
    
    use nfd::Response;
    
    fn main() {
    
      let result = nfd::dialog_multiple().filter("jpg").open().unwrap_or_else(|e| {
      	panic!(e);
      });
    
      match result {
          Response::Okay(file_path) => println!("File path = {:?}", file_path),
          Response::OkayMultiple(files) => println!("Files {:?}", files),
          Response::Cancel => println!("User canceled"),
      }
    }
