Gnome::Gtk4::R-AppChooser

Description§

Gnome::Gtk4::R-AppChooser is an interface for widgets which allow the user to choose an application.

The main objects that implement this interface are Gnome::Gtk4::AppChooserWidget, Gnome::Gtk4::AppChooserDialog and Gnome::Gtk4::AppChooserButton.

Applications are represented by GIO Gnome::Gio::R-AppInfo objects here. GIO has a concept of recommended and fallback applications for a given content type. Recommended applications are those that claim to handle the content type itself, while fallback also includes applications that handle a more generic content type. GIO also knows the default and last-used application for a given content type. The Gnome::Gtk4::AppChooserWidget provides detailed control over whether the shown list of applications should include default, recommended or fallback applications.

To obtain the application that has been selected in a Gnome::Gtk4::R-AppChooser, use .get-app-info().
