- This is not for android nor ios.
- The code is pure C, perfectly compatible with C++.
- the windows only wchar_t (utf-16) prototypes are in the header file
- windows is fully supported from XP to 10 (maybe even older versions)
- C# & LUA via dll, see files in the folder EXTRAS
- OSX supported from 10.4 to 10.12 (maybe even older versions)
- Avoid using " and ' in titles and messages.
- There's one file filter only, it may contain several patterns.
- If no filter description is provided,
the list of patterns will become the description.
- char const * filterPatterns[3] = { "*.obj" , "*.stl" , "*.dxf" } ;
- On windows link against Comdlg32.lib and Ole32.lib
(on windows the no linking claim is a lie)
This linking is not compulsary for console mode (see header file).
- On unix: it tries command line calls, so no such need (NO LINKING).
- On unix you need applescript, zenity, matedialog, qarma, kdialog, Xdialog,
python2/tkinter or dialog (will open a terminal if running without console).
- One of those is already included on most (if not all) desktops.
- In the absence of those it will use gdialog, gxmessage or whiptail
with a textinputbox.
- If nothing is found, it switches to basic console input,
it opens a console if needed (requires xterm + bash).
- Use windows separators on windows and unix separators on unix.
- String memory is preallocated statically for all the returned values.
- File and path names are tested before return, they are valid.
- If you pass only a path instead of path + filename,
make sure it ends with a separator.
- tinyfd_forceConsole=1; at run time, forces dialogs into console mode.
- On windows, console mode only make sense for console applications.
- Mutiple selects are not allowed in console mode.
- The package dialog must be installed to run in enhanced console mode.
It is already installed on most unix systems.
- On osx, the package dialog can be installed via http://macports.org
- On windows, for enhanced console mode,
dialog.exe should be copied somewhere on your executable path.
It can be found at the bottom of the following page:
http://andrear.altervista.org/home/cdialog.php
- If dialog is missing, it will switch to basic console input.
- You can query the type of dialog that will be use.
- MinGW needs gcc >= v4.9 otherwise some headers are incomplete.
- Here is the Hello World:
if a console is missing, it will use graphic dialogs
if a graphical display is absent, it will use console dialogs

OSX :
$ gcc -o hello.app hello.c tinyfiledialogs.c
UNIX :
$ gcc -o hello hello.c tinyfiledialogs.c
( or clang tcc cc CC )
MinGW (needs gcc >= v4.9 otherwise some headers are incomplete):
> gcc -o hello.exe hello.c tinyfiledialogs.c -LC:/mingw/lib -lcomdlg32 -lole32
(unfortunately some headers are missing with tcc)
VisualStudio :
Create a console application project,
it links against Comdlg32.lib & Ole32.lib.
