### Warning

`gnome_file_entry_set_default_path` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

`fentry` : | The GnomeFileEntry widget to work with.
`path` : | A path string.

### gnome_file_entry_set_directory_entry ()

    void                gnome_file_entry_set_directory_entry

### Warning

`gnome_file_entry_set_directory_entry` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Sets whether this is a directory only entry. If `directory_entry` is true, then gnome_file_entry_get_full_path will check for the file being a directory, and the browse dialog will have the file list disabled.

`fentry` : | The GnomeFileEntry widget to work with.
`directory_entry` : | boolean

### gnome_file_entry_get_directory_entry ()

    gboolean            gnome_file_entry_get_directory_entry

### Warning

`gnome_file_entry_get_directory_entry` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Gets whether this is a directory only entry. See also gnome_file_entry_set_directory_entry.

`fentry` : | The GnomeFileEntry widget to work with.
Returns : | A boolean.

### gnome_file_entry_get_full_path ()

    char *              gnome_file_entry_get_full_path      (GnomeFileEntry *fentry,
                                                             gboolean file_must_exist);

### Warning

`gnome_file_entry_get_full_path` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Gets the full absolute path of the file from the entry. If `file_must_exist` is false, nothing is tested and the path is returned. If `file_must_exist` is true, then the path is only returned if the path actually exists. In case the entry is a directory entry (see gnome_file_entry_set_directory_entry), then if the path exists and is a directory then it's returned; if not, it is assumed it was a file so we try to strip it, and try again. It allocates memory for the returned string.

`fentry` : | The GnomeFileEntry widget to work with.
`file_must_exist` : | boolean
Returns : | a newly allocated string with the path or NULL if something went wrong

### gnome_file_entry_set_filename ()

    void                gnome_file_entry_set_filename       (GnomeFileEntry *fentry,
