<p>
New features in <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> include the following:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>
Ability to select URIs rather than just local files. You
must use a <span class="type">GtkFileSystem</span> implementation that supports this,
for example the gnome-vfs backend.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
Present a list of application-specific shortcut folders.
For example, a paint program may want to add a shortcut for
its <code class="filename">/usr/share/paint_program/Clipart</code>
folder.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
Define custom filters so that not all the files in a folder
are listed. For example, you could filter out backup files,
or show only image files.
</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
To see how to use these features, please consult the <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a>
reference documentation.
