thunar_navigator_get_current_directory ()

ThunarFile *
thunar_navigator_get_current_directory
                               (ThunarNavigator *navigator);

Returns the directory currently displayed by navigator or NULL, if navigator does not currently display and directory.

thunar_navigator_set_current_directory ()

void
thunar_navigator_set_current_directory
                               (ThunarNavigator *navigator,
                                ThunarFile *current_directory);

Sets a new current directory that should be displayed by the navigator .

thunar_navigator_change_directory ()

void
thunar_navigator_change_directory (ThunarNavigator *navigator,
                                   ThunarFile *directory);

Emits the "change-directory" signal on navigator with the specified directory .

Derived classes should invoke this method whenever the user selects a new directory from within navigator . The derived class should not perform any directory changing operations itself, but leave it up to the surrounding module (usually a ThunarWindow instance) to change the directory.

It should never ever be called from outside a ThunarNavigator implementation, as that may led to unexpected results!

thunar_navigator_open_new_tab ()

void
thunar_navigator_open_new_tab (ThunarNavigator *navigator,
                               ThunarFile *directory);

The “current-directory” property

  “current-directory”        ThunarFile *

The directory currently displayed by this ThunarNavigator instance or NULL if no directory is currently displayed (it's up to the implementing class to define the appearance of a navigator that has no directory associated with it).

Whenever a navigator wants the surrounding module (usually a ThunarWindow) to change to another directory, it should invoke the "change-directory" signal using the thunar_navigator_change_directory() method. It should not directly change the "current-directory" property, but wait for the surrounding module to change the "current-directory" property afterwards.

The “change-directory” signal

void
user_function (ThunarNavigator *navigator,
               ThunarFile      *directory,
               gpointer         user_data)

Invoked by implementing classes whenever the user requests to changed the current directory to directory from within the navigator instance (e.g. for the location buttons bar, this signal would be invoked whenever the user clicks on a path button).

The navigator must not apply the directory to the "current-directory" property directly. But instead, it must wait for the surrounding module (usually a ThunarWindow instance) to explicitly inform the navigator to change it's current directory using the thunar_navigator_set_current_directory() method or the "current-directory" property.
