Simple File Dialog

A small C library for opening a file dialog on Windows and Linux.

---

Compiling

The library comes with CMakeLists.txt but you can just put sfd.c and sfd.h into an existing project and compiled along with it

Build Options

#define SFD_BACKEND_WIN32   // Only For Windows (Make Sure To Link With 'comdlg32')
#define SFD_BACKEND_ZENITY  // Zenity Backend (Requires zenity)
#define SFD_BACKEND_KDIALOG // KDialog Backend (Requires kdialog)

---

Usage

sfd_Options opt = {
	.title        = "Open Image File",
	.filter_name  = "Image File",
	.filter       = "*.png|*.jpg",
	.save         = 0
};

const char* filename = sfd_open_dialog(&opt);

if (filename) {
	printf("Got file: '%s'\n", filename);
} else {
	const char* LastError = sfd_get_error();
	if (LastError != NULL) {
		printf("Error: %s\n", LastError);
	} else {
		printf("Open canceled\n");
	}
}

All fields of the sfd_Options struct are optional except for .save.

Field	Description
.title	Title for the file dialog window
.path	Default directory
.filter_name	Name used to describe the file filter
.filter	File filters separated by |
.save	Type of the dialog, 0 = Open & 1 = Save

If the file dialog is canceled or an error occurs NULL is returned. sfd_get_error() will return an error string in the case of an error.
