Open multiple filenames in tkinter and add the filesnames to a list

Open multiple filenames in tkinter and add the filesnames to a list

To open multiple filenames in a tkinter application and add the filenames to a list, you can use the tkinter.filedialog module to create a file dialog for selecting multiple files. Here's an example of how you can do this:

import tkinter as tk from tkinter import filedialog def open_files(): file_paths = filedialog.askopenfilenames() if file_paths: for file_path in file_paths: file_listbox.insert(tk.END, file_path) # Create the main tkinter window root = tk.Tk() root.title("Open Multiple Files") # Create a button to open files open_button = tk.Button(root, text="Open Files", command=open_files) open_button.pack(pady=10) # Create a listbox to display selected filenames file_listbox = tk.Listbox(root) file_listbox.pack() # Start the tkinter main loop root.mainloop()

In this code:

  1. We create a tkinter window and add a button labeled "Open Files" that triggers the open_files function when clicked.

  2. Inside the open_files function, we use filedialog.askopenfilenames() to open a file dialog that allows the user to select multiple files. The selected file paths are returned as a tuple of strings.

  3. If files are selected, we iterate through the file paths and insert each path into a tkinter Listbox widget (file_listbox) using file_listbox.insert(tk.END, file_path).

  4. The tkinter main loop (root.mainloop()) starts the GUI application.

When you run this code, clicking the "Open Files" button will open a file dialog where you can select multiple files. The selected filenames will be displayed in the tkinter Listbox widget.

Make sure you have the tkinter library installed, as it is a standard library in Python, and you don't need to install it separately.
