Title

The jfs File Selection Panel

Introduction

The jfs application is just a wrapper around the j:fs procedure in the jfs.tcl library. It's intended to make it easy to ask the user to select a file from shell scripts, window­manager menus, etc.

This help file describes jfs version 4.0/4.0.

Copyright and contact information is available in the jstools documentation.

Invocation and Usage

jfs [options]

Invoking jfs brings up a file selection panel with a listbox and entry widget that lets the user select a file. There are several options that control the behaviour and appearance of the file selection panel; they are described in the documentation for the j:fs procedure in the jfs.tcl library.

Both prompt and title are localisable.

Example

play `jfs -prompt "Play what sound file?" -directory /data/sounds`
