Warning

mate_file_entry_set_directory_entry is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Returns :

A boolean.

mate_file_entry_get_full_path ()

char *              mate_file_entry_get_full_path      (MateFileEntry *fentry,

Warning

mate_file_entry_get_full_path is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Gets the full absolute path of the file from the entry. If file_must_exist is false, nothing is tested and the path is returned. If file_must_exist is true, then the path is only returned if the path actually exists. In case the entry is a directory entry (see mate_file_entry_set_directory_entry), then if the path exists and is a directory then it's returned; if not, it is assumed it was a file so we try to strip it, and try again. It allocates memory for the returned string.

fentry :

The MateFileEntry widget to work with.

file_must_exist :

boolean

Returns :

a newly allocated string with the path or NULL if something went wrong
