# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
# Simple example of how to communicate with Thunar (and any other Xfce file #
# file manager) using the org.xfce.FileManager D-BUS interface. #
# #
# Thunar must be compiled with D-BUS support for this to work. #
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
import gtk
import dbus
import dbus.service
if getattr(dbus, 'version', (0,0,0)) >= (0,41,0):
import dbus.glib
# acquire a reference to the FileManager object
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
xfce_file_manager_object = bus.get_object('org.xfce.FileManager', '/org/xfce/FileManager')
xfce_file_manager = dbus.Interface(xfce_file_manager_object, 'org.xfce.FileManager')
# You can now invoke methods on the xfce_file_manager object,
# for example, to open a new file manager window for /tmp, you
# would use the following method:
#
# xfce_file_manager.DisplayFolder('/tmp', '', '')
#
# or, if you also want to pre-select a file in the folder, you
# can use:
#
# xfce_file_manager.DisplayFolderAndSelect('/tmp', 'file.txt', '', '')
#
# else if you want to display the file managers preferences
# dialog, you'd use
#
# xfce_file_manager.DisplayPreferencesDialog('', '')
#
# and to open the file properties dialog of a given file, use
#
# xfce_file_manager.DisplayFileProperties('/path/to/file', '', '')
#
# and last but not least, to launch a given file (or open
# a folder), use
#
# xfce_file_manager.Launch('/path/to/file', '', '')
#
# See the thunar-dbus-service-infos.xml file for the exact
# interface definition.
#
# We just popup a new window for the root directory here to
# demonstrate that it works. ;-)
