tk_getOpenFile
shah
i want to select muliple files from tk_getOpenFile widget.
i have 8.2 installed on my o.s.it doesn't support mutiple option for
tk_getOpenFile.
i hv tcl 8.3 in my o.s.
Is 8.3 support multiple option?
i have 8.2 in /usr/bin and libraries are in /usr/lib
but 8.3 in /usr/local/bin/.
if i use /usr/local/bin in my script as path so is it invoke options
and libraries of 8.3 ?

YES, tk_getOpenFile's -multiple option appeared with 8.3.
I don't understand your question about options and libraries.
Cameron Laird
Someone help Ms. Shah, please; I might not be around for a few
days. In private correspondence, she appears to be successfully
launching 8.3, but reports, "i have used tk_getOpenFile with
multiple true option.but it gives error like bad command." I
don't know what this means, so I hope someone can talk with her
about:
*) the feasibility of a move to a modern Wish;
*) how exactly she uses [tk_getOpenFile]; and
*) precisely what error wish8.3 gives.
[tk_getOpenFile] works just as *I* expect, and I believe that
applies to all 8.3.x releases.

Could you paste the exact error message you get. I recently fixed a
multiple selection error in tk_getOpenFile
in the 8.5 and 8.6 Tk versions. It's possible that same fix would
back port to 8.3
Please see Bug 1936220 in sourceforge to see if the issue is the same.

Is that related at all to this?

Can it be closed?
I filed the original bug 6 years ago, and the last update was from 3
years ago. Now I'm not only married (as per the comment in the
tracker:-) but have a daughter. Do we still have a bug?

No, I think we have a misdesign in ttk. See the discussion in
http://wiki.tcl.tk/20050

I just tried it on 8.3.3 and it is not recognized.
On versions where it is recognized, beware that it takes a boolean
argument: -multiple true or -multiple 1

It (8.3.3) says it (-multiple) is an unrecognized option.

Well looking at your test code, this change has not yet been adopted.
Let me see if I can make your patch work in the current code base. I
think it's a good idea.
