nfd-rs is a Rust binding to the library nativefiledialog, that provides a convenient cross-platform interface to opening file dialogs on Linux, OS X and Windows.

This crate has been tested on Mac, Window and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) and supports single/mutliple and save dialogs, notice APIs may break with newer versions.

mremap_chunk(): invalid pointer

I don't know if it's an issue with these bindings, or the original library, or if I'm doing something terrible... My application crashed in a very rare case when I was in the folder selector opened with nfd::open_pick_folder. And gave output:

The code: https://github.com/Ploppz/bup/blob/main/src/path.rs

Change OkayMultiple into a tuple?

I may be missing something but I am not aware of any OS where the file chooser lets you pick multiple files in different folders.

Assuming this is the case, the path of all files returned by OkayMultiple will always be the same for all elements of the Vec.

Would it then not make sense to change the return value to a tuple (String, Vec<String>) that returns the path in the first string and just the file names or folders, omitting the path, in the Vec<String>?

Cant navigate in filesystem

When I open the system dialog with open_file_dialog I can't navigate between the folders :

The buttons event on the sidebar are disabled, and I don't land on the Pictures folder

Update to current version of nativefiledialog?

It looks like nativefiledialog has some significant updates since 2016, particularly for win32 and osx. Would it be fairly easy to use the latest source files from that project? Thank you.

Support for stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu toolchain?

I'm trying to build using the stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu toolchain and I'm getting this error:

cargo:warning=nativefiledialog/src/nfd_win.cpp:118:24: error: 'sprintf_s' was not declared in this scope

Is this because nfd assumes you'll be building using MSVC and sprintf_s is Microsoft-specific? Building against stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc works fine.

GTK dependency?

I got a build error saying cargo:warning=nativefiledialog/src/nfd_gtk.c:10:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory when trying to run a binary using this in travis CI. It would be nice if the dependency was specified in the readme.

Publish to crates.io?

When I add nfd = "0.0.4" to Cargo.toml on Windows, I encounter issue #14.

When I use nfd = { git = "https://github.com/saurvs/nfd-rs.git" } instead, everything works fine.

So it looks to me like #14 was fixed, but never published to crates.io. Would it be possible to do a version bump and publish?

Force window to be in the foreground

Sorry for this potentially stupid issue but I have a very obscure use case where I trigger this very nice library from an electron app that communicates with a rust backend via rest/rocket. However the native file browser always opens in the background, making it hard or impossible to see. Is there a way to bring it to focus automatically?
