Tk Multiselect File Open Dialog?

ruby-talk
1

I need a file open dialog with a muliselect option within ruby-TclTk .
Oddly enought this is supposedly available for the versions of tcltk >8.3
(in straight tcltk) but I can’t seem to get it to work within Ruby. Any
suggestions or is this impossible within the current implementation?

Ideally a variant of Tk.getOpenFile with a -multiple option would be great
(but doesn’t seem to exist)

thanks

Although I don’t use the newest version of Tcl/Tk,
does Tk.getOpenFile(‘multiple’=>true) work?
Of cource, your Ruby/Tk must be compiled with a new version of
Tcl/Tk which supports -multiple option for tk_getOpenFile.
