NAME

tk_getOpenFilePreview - pops up a dialog box for the user to select a QuickTime movie file to open.

SYNOPSIS

package require QuickTimeTcl ?version?
tk_getOpenFilePreview

DESCRIPTION

The procedure tk_getOpenFilePreview pops up a dialog box for the user to select a QuickTime movie file to open. It is similar to the tk_getOpenFile command, but only files that can be opened as QuickTime movies are shown. Moreover, an optional preview helps the user to select the wanted movie. The preview may include sound as well as video or a still image. On the Macintosh, the files shown includes all files whose file type is 'MooV'. It also lists all files that can be translated into a QuickTime movie format using a movie importer. The tk_getOpenFilePreview command is usually associated with the Open command in the File menu. Its purpose is for the user to select an existing QuickTime movie file only.

If the user selects a file, tk_getOpenFilePreview returns the full pathname of this file. If the user cancels the operation, the command returns an empty string.
