Widget description
==================
A file selector is a widget that allows a user to navigate through a
file system, reporting file selections back via its API.
It contains shortcut buttons for home directory (*~*) and to jump one
directory upwards (..), as well as cancel/ok buttons to confirm/cancel a
given selection. After either one of those two former actions, the file
selector will issue its ``"done"`` smart callback.
There's a text entry on it, too, showing the name of the current
selection. There's the possibility of making it editable, so it is
useful on file saving dialogs on applications, where one gives a file
name to save contents to, in a given directory in the system. This
custom file name will be reported on the ``"done"`` smart callback
(explained in sequence).
Finally, it has a view to display file system items into in two possible
forms:
- list
- grid
If Elementary is built with support of the Ethumb thumbnailing library,
the second form of view will display preview thumbnails of files which
it supports.
Emitted signals
===============
- ``activated`` - the user activated a file. This can happen by
double-clicking or pressing Enter key. (**event_info** is a string with the
activated file path)
- ``selected`` - the user has clicked on a file (when not in folders-only
mode) or directory (when in folders-only mode)
- ``directory,open`` - the list has been populated with new content
(*event_info* is the directory's path)
- ``done`` - the user has clicked on the "ok" or "cancel"
buttons (*event_info* is the selection's path)
Layout text parts
=================
- ``ok`` - OK button label if the ok button is set. (since 1.8)
- ``cancel`` - Cancel button label if the cancel button is set. (since 1.8)
