How to make a new folder using askdirectory dialog in Tkinter?

To make a new folder using askdirectory dialog in Tkinter, we can take the following steps −

• Import the required modules. filedialog module is required for askdirectory method. os module is required for makedirs method.

• Create an instance of tkinter frame.

• Set the size of the frame using win.geometry method.

• Define a user-defined method "create_subfolder". Inside the method, call filedialog.askdirectory to select a folder and save the path in a variable, source_path.

• We can use askdirectory method of filedialog to open a directory. Save the path of the selected directory in a 'path' variable.

• Then, use os.path.join and makedirs to create a sub-folder inside the parent directory.

• Create a button to call the create_subfolder method.

Example

# Import the required libraries from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk from tkinter import filedialog import os # Create an instance of tkinter frame or window win = Tk() # Set the size of the window win.geometry("700x350") def create_subfolder():    source_path = filedialog.askdirectory(title='Select the Parent Directory')    path = os.path.join(source_path, 'Images')    os.makedirs(path) button1 = ttk.Button(win, text="Select a Folder", command=create_subfolder) button1.pack(pady=5) win.mainloop()

Output

When we execute the above code, it will first show the following window −

Now, click the "Select a Folder" button to select a parent folder. It will automatically create a sub-folder called "Images" in the selected parent folder.
