There is a simple example of how to do what you want in its API: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkFileChooserDialog.html Also, to set the default location, you would use gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder() before running the dialog. Here's the reference for that function: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-current-folder Hope this helps!
