Cross-platform way to get files and folders inside a given folder
Author
I'm thinking I'd better implement saving into my game soon. In order to do that, I need to implement file dialogs. I need some cross-platform way (at least Mac and Windows) to find the files and folders inside a given start folder.
My project is written in C++ and uses SDL, if that is any help.

Java. Or you can do the same like the rest, and create your own file "dialogs".

You could also consider using a cross platform GUI toolkit like wxWidgets to handle things for you.
Quote:Original post by guviduThe OP asked for a way to iterate a directory - not render a GUI widget. wxWidgets is fine for an editor, but it is extremely hard to integrate in to a game.
I agree with SiCrane - WxWidget its what you need. Easy to use and very powerfull.

I've read about PhysFS, since I was also thinking about using it to handle my save files. I've noticed though that it looks pretty low-level, where I'm pretty much working with raw bits. Is there any wrapper or something that makes it a bit higher-level, sort of like the iostream classes in C++?
