Usage

use native_dialog::{DialogBuilder, MessageLevel};

let path = DialogBuilder::file()
    .set_location("~/Desktop")
    .add_filter("PNG Image", &["png"])
    .add_filter("JPEG Image", &["jpg", "jpeg"])
    .open_single_file()
    .show()
    .unwrap();

let path = match path {
    Some(path) => path,
    None => return,
};

// Asyncronous Dialog
let yes = DialogBuilder::message()
    .set_level(MessageLevel::Info)
    .set_title("Do you want to open the file?")
    .set_text(format!("{:#?}", path))
    .confirm()
    .spawn()
    .await
    .unwrap();

if yes {
    do_something(path).await;
}

Misc

Ugly or blurry dialogs on Windows

Turn on crate features or embed manifests into the .exe to enable visual styling and dpi awareness for your program. Check out examples/windows_manifest and examples/windows_features for example.

Linux/BSD dependencies

The implementation for Linux and BSD requires either Zenity or Kdialog being installed; otherwise the MissingDep error will occur.
