New library - Native File Dialogs

SDL Development
1

I just open sourced, under the ZLib license, a small C library that lets you call native open and save dialogs. It has been tested and works well alongside SDL2 on each supported platform. It has minimal dependencies and compiles on Linux, Mac and Windows in 32 and 64-bits.

Enjoy!

Really nice idea, salutes to you! Hope to give it a try someday.

Cheers,

Hello Michael.
For me sounds like useful too, thanks.
Is this library works with all Linux desktop environments (desktop independent)?

Looks good!

I made something like this not long ago. I didn’t implement the Linux
parts, I probably got some of the other parts wrong, and I had a modal
color picker dialog too. :slight_smile:

I took it to the point where it was useful enough for the project I was
working on. Maybe you can find some use in comparing with the approach I
took. For instance, I exposed common and platform-specific options via an
optional parameter.
