Not getting the complete file path when using the ControlFile widget to save a file

Source of issue

When using the ControlFile widget, the call to the underlying Qt method to get a file path is correct but here:

pyforms-gui/pyforms_gui/controls/control_file.py

Line 51 in 0f6cd96

value = value[0]

only the first character of the path is kept. This is because when using the same widget to open a file, a more generic call is made (to be Qt4 and Qt5 compatible I guess) and it is possible to get back a tuple and not just a string.

Potential solution

Possible solutions to this issue could be:

Test the type of the value and treat differently tuples and strings
Check if one is using the widget for opening or saving

Apparently this is fixed in this PR .
