Tkgetfile - An enhanced FileOpen browser replacement for tk_getOpenFile


 #          
 # tkgetfile.tcl -- Enhanced file selector using tablelist widget (to provide
 #                   detail view and easy access to sorting and column sizing).
 #                   Intended as a replacement for tk_getOpenFile.
 #
 # Features a detailed view of directories with Name, Size, and Date Modified.
 # The user can click on any column heading to sort that column in ascending or
 # descending order.
 # Input a file name with wildcards (e.g. *.c) to see all files that match.
 # You can use the Tab keys, up-down arrows (depending on focus), Return, etc.
 #
 # Author: Walter B. Wulczak <[email protected]>
 # Date: Oct 10 2005
 #
 # Requires the package "tablelist" ( http://www.nemethi.de )
 # Tested with Tcl/Tk 8.1 and 8.4 under Unix.
 #
 # Usage:
 #        set filename [tkgetfile ?-option value? ]
 #        if {$filename != ""} {
 #        # Open the file and do other stuff ...
 #        }
 #
 # Options are:
 #        [-initialdir dir] Specifies that the files in dir should be
 #                          displayed when the dialog pops up.  Defaults
 #                          to the current working directory.
 #        [-parent window]  Display tkgetfile over parent window.
 #        [-title string]   Make string the label of dialog window.
 # 
 # Layout:
 #
 #  Open File:
 #  +------------------+ +-----+
 #  |                  | +UpDir+
 #  +------------------+ +-----+
 #
 #    Name    Size   Date Modified
 #  +------------------------------------+
 #  | file1     25   2005-01-24 19:11:55 |S
 #  | file2                              |c
 #  | file3                              |r
 #  |                                    |b
 #  |                                    |a
 #  | filen                              |r
 #  +------------------------------------+
 #  Directory Name: currrent-dir
 #
 #        +------+  +--------+
 #        |  OK  |  | cancel |
 #        +------+  +--------+

 # Thanks to:
 #   Csaba Nemethi, author of tablelist, for helpful suggestions.
 #
 # 10-04-05 wbw: Replaced listbox with tablelist.  Dir folder image added.
 #                Corrected key and button binding definitions.
 # 10-05-05 wbw: Recoded 3 sections doing the same thing into tkgetfileshowdir.
 #                Updir button added.
 # 10-06-05 wbw: Work around glob quirk.  The following returns no files:
 #                        set selected "*.c *.tcl"
 #                        set globlist [glob $selected]
 #                                or
 #                        set globlist [glob [list $selected]]
 #                This works (returns files matching either pattern):
 #                        set selected "*.c *.tcl"
 #                        set globlist [eval glob $selected]
 # 10-06-05 wbw: Every time tkgetfileshowdir is called, sort the list per the
 #                        last known sorting order.
 # 10-07-05 wbw: File names with spaces now handled (removed "glob" call).
 #                Catch exceptions when user clicks beyond the table.
 # 10-08-05 wbw: Added support for "-initialdir" and "-title".
 # 10-09-05 wbw: Switched from "ls -a" to "glob".  Bindings corrected.
 # 10-10-05 wbw: Cleanup and comment out "puts" debugging statements.
