Single-header file picker library for ImGui.
Currently, this library is Windows-only. Support for Linux is planned.
# How to use
This library exposes two functions:
## int renderFilePicker(wchar_t* userPath, bool* windowOpen, int windowFlags = 0);
Call this function within the render loop providing a pre-allocated C-wide string buffer of MAX_PATH characters in `userPath`. `windowOpen` must be initially set to `true`, and will set itself to `false` when execution is done. If succesful, your buffer will contain a valid path. You can check the file picker state each frame by parsing this function's return value. You can provide `windowFlags` to customize its appearance.
### Window customization flags
```
fp::WindowFlags::FULLSCREEN : Render window in full screen, without decorations.
```
### Return values
```
fp::ExitFlags::CONTINUE : Window will render next frame.
fp::ExitFlags::SELECTED : A path has been successfully returned, window will close.
fp::ExitFlags::CLOSED : User has closed the window. No path is returned.
```
## void setDebugInfo(int debugVerbosity);
When `FPDEBUG` is enabled, this allows you to configure debug granularity.
### Debug flags
```
fp::DebugVerbosity::DIRECTORY
fp::DebugVerbosity::VOLUME
fp::DebugVerbosity::EXTENSION
```
# Library dependencies
- **C++ STL**: This library uses `vector` and `w\string`.
## Enable debug information
# Demo build instructions
## Build requirements
- [**GLFW v3**](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases): used as rendering backend. Executable in releases is compiled with version [`3.3.9`](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/tag/3.3.9).
- Developed and tested with `clang` using [**llvm-mingw 20220906**](https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases/tag/20220906). Any `MinGW`-backed `clang` compiler should work, but your mileage may vary.
## How to compile
Download GLFW and pick your libraries according to your toolchain. Then, call your compiler directly specifying both libs needed and your paths to the necessary header and lib files:
```
clang++ demo/main.cpp -o demo/demo.exe -L C:/pathtollvmmingw/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin -I C:\pathtollvmmingw\include -L C:/pathtoglfw/lib-mingw-w64 -I C:\pathtoglfw\include -lglfw3 -l libc++
```
If you want to statically link:
```
clang++ demo/main.cpp -o demo/demo.exe -L C:/pathtoglfw/lib-mingw-w64 -L C:/pathtollvmmingw/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -I C:\pathtollvmmingw\include -I C:\pathtoglfw\include -std=c++17 -stdlib=libc++ -rtlib=compiler-rt -static -l glfw3 -l gdi32 -l opengl32 -l user32 -l kernel32 -static-libstdc++
```
# To-Dos
- Implement a file watcher to check for changes on the current directory.
- Add Linux support.
- Allow users to provide their own memory allocations as an option.
