wxFileDialog GetDirectory method returns empty string with Multiselect in GTK3 (Issue #25976)
Scott Hanson
computergeek1507 created an issue (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#25976)Description
the GetDirectory method in wxFileDialog class returns an empty string with wxFD_MULTIPLE in GTK3. This started happening after merging in the Native Dialog pull request.
Patch or snippet allowing to reproduce the problem:
configure wx build with
./configure --enable-cxx11 --with-cxx=17 --enable-std_containers --enable-std_string_conv_in_wxstring --enable-backtrace --enable-exceptions --enable-mediactrl --enable-graphics_ctx --enable-monolithic --disable-sdltest --with-gtk=3 --enable-glcanvasegl --disable-pcx --disable-iff --without-libtiff
Use the dialogs sample, patch the two lines
diff --git a/samples/dialogs/dialogs.cpp b/samples/dialogs/dialogs.cpp
index e6926a851a..6baf3bd08b 100644

msg += s;
+ s.Printf("\nDirectory : %s", dialog.GetDirectory());

wxMessageDialog dialog2(this, msg, "Selected files");
dialog2.ShowModal();
}
Observed behaviour:
In the dialogs example, Select Dialogs -> File operations -> Open files
image.png (view on web)Select Two Files.
image.png (view on web)Message Dialog will contain empty string for GetDirectory in message dialog.
Expected behaviour:
Message Dialog return the last selected directory with GetDirectory method.
