[kkpal]

hi all

I want to create a file browser for particular folder only.
let, that folder is /tmp/test/.
i want to create a browser that browse files and directories inside "test" folder only not outside that directory.

I making application in which user may access their files from his USB drive only. When he plug USB device in my hardware a browser will open and he can access their files only not the system files.

How can I create?
Is it possible in gtkdialog or Xdialog? or you can make using some other tool plz let me know.

The toolkit is up to you. In first place, which programming languages are you familiar with?

I don't recommend using plain Xlib because you will waste unnecesary time. You can choose gtk (c) or qt (c++) which will make this trivial. You can even use prebuilt pieces from kdelibs, based on qt, which will make this even easier.

There's a thousand ways that a given user can escape that jail (symlinks is just one of them). You might want to remember that while coding.
