The function
prompt-for-files
presents the user with a dialog box similarly to prompt-for-file, but in which multiple filenames can be selected.
The arguments are as for prompt-for-file, except that filters defaults to:
("MS Word files" "*.doc"
"HTML files" "*.htm;*.html"
"Plain Text files" "*.txt;*.text"
"All files" "*.*")
filenames
is a list of filenames, or
nil
if the user cancels the dialog.
successp
is a flag which is
nil
if the dialog was cancelled, and
t
otherwise.
filter-name is the name of the filter that was selected in the dialog.
If
continuation
is non-
nil
, then it must be a function with a lambda list that accepts three arguments. The
continuation
function is called with the values that would normally be returned by
prompt-for-files
. On Cocoa, passing
continuation
causes the dialog to be made as a window-modal sheet and
prompt-for-files
returns immediately, leaving the dialog on the screen. The with-dialog-results macro provides a convenient way to create a
continuation
function.
Note:
prompt-for-files
is currently implemented only in LispWorks for Windows and Cocoa.
