zenity file-selection

[jeesk]

Is there any way to implement this on linux, where the file selector is opened in the application and attached to a window? I'm using attach to a window id, and found that it doesn't work on arch linux.

I used wmctrl - l to obtain the window ID, but it did not work.

import (
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
    "github.com/ncruces/zenity"
    "net/http"
    "strings"
)

func main() {

    r := gin.Default()
    r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
        file, err := zenity.SelectFileMultiple(
            zenity.Attach(4915245),
            zenity.FileFilters{
                {"Go files", []string{"*.go"}, false},
                {"Web files", []string{"*.html", "*.js", "*.css"}, true},
                {"Image files", []string{"*.png", "*.gif", "*.ico", "*.jpg", "*.webp"}, true},
            })

        if err != nil {
            c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, err.Error())
        }
        c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
            "files": strings.Join(file, ","),
        })
    })
    r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 (for windows "localhost:8080")
}

Did you try running the command line zenity to check if it works? If it doesn't, there's very little I can do.

It can work normally, but there is no effect of Chrome or Firefox opening the modal box of the file selector.

My point is, on Linux, does running zenity with --attach and --modal work as you want/expect?

If it does, there's something I can do about it, otherwise there really… isn't.

Closing as there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to improve the situation. If you have any concrete suggestion (a zenity command I could/should be running), please reopen the issue.
