Open Files Dialog Box - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #15

Great tutorial. I take it the filedialog just calls the OS's dialog box (which in linux on a chromebook is very lame)

Thanks Sir I'm Your Student From Pakistan ❤i Subscribe Your Channel and Always Watching Your Videos , I Can't Afford ur Paid Courses On Web So I'm Wathcing u on YT

Straight to the problem, I love it

Sir I added a file dialogue on a top-level but it does not show on the top but file dialogue shows under the top-level how can I fix this sir

Loved every minute of it!

Hello, i would like to make a question. When you open the file you want, how can you make the button disappear from the "new" window that show the photo? Thanks in advance...

Perfect I need this one for my app! Thanks again 4 hours in lol

I was realizing that you need to use "from tkinter import filedialog" to make this script work... But I thought that "from tkinter import *" meant that it was already importing everything... Can somebody explain?

Hello John,
I just payed the insanely low price for total membership :)

im not clear with a import thing. First we do from tkinter import * it should import everything right? yet we specifically write from tkinter import filedialog, why?

Fantastic tutorial thank you

Thanks for the great videos! Would be very grateful if you could answer a quick question?

What is the reason for assigning the file path string to 'root.filename'? From what I understand, this creates a new attribute called 'filename' for the 'root' object. What is the advantage of doing this instead of just assigning it to a normal variable (ie. just 'filename')?

Im a beginner. Your vides are very helpful and resourceful for learning I tried this, but Im getting an error while assigning it to label.image

player=ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(main.file_name))
player_pic=Label(main,image=main.file_name)


_tkinter.TclError: image "C:/Users/PD/messi.png" doesn't exist.

Can you please help me in this

That photo with your dog is literally the brand image of the playlist, gotta love how cute your dog is!!

MAN I LOVE U SO MUCH

Thanks alot

Is there a way to ask for file directory rather than a file, my program freezes when I try askdirectory()

Excellent...! pls can this be done using grid() method ?

Thanks. I really enjoy this and find this super helpful.

FYI : the Scale command argument will pass the scale value to the function called. Which means you could use something like this here :

def slide(val):
root.geometry(str(val)+'x400')

Thank you very much! that helped me!

Why does the message pop up as '<io.TestIOWrapper name='xxx' mode='r' encoding='cp936'> after running my_label? Would you please help me to solve this problem?

I don’t know why but my filter ain’t working. All the filetypes I give are applied automatically and then I cannot select any filetype.
They automatically apply all types.

Thank you so much, you saved my day <3

thank you Heisenberg :)

I thought "from module import *" already imports everything there is in the module?
Why do we have to do from tkinter import textdialog after?

You've just save a life 😉

Best tutorial I have ever seen ❤

I had no idea about filedialogs before this video, WOW. I have just been manually iterating through folders this entire time :( best video by far.

Thanks for your videos
