GI.Gtk.Objects.DirectoryList

DirectoryList is a list model that wraps fileEnumerateChildrenAsync. It presents a ListModel and fills it asynchronously with the GFileInfos returned from that function.

Enumeration will start automatically when a the DirectoryList:file property is set.

While the DirectoryList is being filled, the DirectoryList:loading property will be set to True. You can listen to that property if you want to show information like a Spinner or a "Loading..." text.

If loading fails at any point, the DirectoryList:error property will be set to give more indication about the failure.

The GFileInfos returned from a DirectoryList have the "standard[file](#g:signal:file)" attribute set to the File they refer to. This way you can get at the file that is referred to in the same way you would via fileEnumeratorGetChild. This means you do not need access to the DirectoryList but can access the File directly from the FileInfo when operating with a ListView or similar.

getAttributes

directoryListGetAttributes

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> m (Maybe Text)

Returns: The queried attributes

Gets the attributes queried on the children.

getError

directoryListGetError

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> m (Maybe GError)

Returns: The loading error or Nothing if loading finished successfully.

Gets the loading error, if any.

If an error occurs during the loading process, the loading process will finish and this property allows querying the error that happened. This error will persist until a file is loaded again.

An error being set does not mean that no files were loaded, and all successfully queried files will remain in the list.

getFile

directoryListGetFile

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> m (Maybe File)

Returns: The file whose children are enumerated

Gets the file whose children are currently enumerated.

getIoPriority

directoryListGetIoPriority

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> m Int32

Returns: The IO priority.

Gets the IO priority set via directoryListSetIoPriority.

getMonitored

directoryListGetMonitored

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the directory is monitored

Returns whether the directory list is monitoring the directory for changes.

isLoading

directoryListIsLoading

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> m Bool

Returns: True if self is loading

Returns True if the children enumeration is currently in progress.

Files will be added to self from time to time while loading is going on. The order in which are added is undefined and may change in between runs.

new

directoryListNew

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsFile a)

=> Maybe Text

attributes: The attributes to query with

-> Maybe a

file: The file to query

-> m DirectoryList

Returns: a new DirectoryList

Creates a new DirectoryList querying the given file with the given attributes.

setAttributes

directoryListSetAttributes

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> Maybe Text

attributes: the attributes to enumerate

-> m ()

Sets the attributes to be enumerated and starts the enumeration.

If attributes is Nothing, no attributes will be queried, but a list of GFileInfos will still be created.

setFile

directoryListSetFile

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a, IsFile b)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> Maybe b

file: the File to be enumerated

-> m ()

Sets the file to be enumerated and starts the enumeration.

If file is Nothing, the result will be an empty list.

setIoPriority

directoryListSetIoPriority

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> Int32

ioPriority: IO priority to use

-> m ()

Sets the IO priority to use while loading directories.

Setting the priority while self is loading will reprioritize the ongoing load as soon as possible.

The default IO priority is PRIORITY_DEFAULT, which is higher than the GTK redraw priority. If you are loading a lot of directories in parallel, lowering it to something like PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE may increase responsiveness.

setMonitored

directoryListSetMonitored

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList a)

=> a

self: a DirectoryList

-> Bool

monitored: True to monitor the directory for changes

-> m ()

Sets whether the directory list will monitor the directory for changes. If monitoring is enabled, the itemsChanged signal will be emitted when the directory contents change.

When monitoring is turned on after the initial creation of the directory list, the directory is reloaded to avoid missing files that appeared between the initial loading and when monitoring was turned on.

Properties

attributes

The attributes to query

clearDirectoryListAttributes :: (MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList o) => o -> m ()

clear #attributes

constructDirectoryListAttributes :: (IsDirectoryList o, MonadIO m) => Text -> m (GValueConstruct o)

Get the value of the “attributes” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get directoryList #attributes

setDirectoryListAttributes :: (MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList o) => o -> Text -> m ()

Set the value of the “attributes” property. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set directoryList [ #attributes := value ]

error

Error encountered while loading files

getDirectoryListError :: (MonadIO m, IsDirectoryList o) => o -> m (Maybe GError)
