I'm wondering if there's a way to create something like a file chooser that would, instead of returning the path to a file, allow the user to select a certain directory.

You set the action of the GtkFileChooser using gtk_file_chooser_set_action (). In your case, you want to use the GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER enum. So it would look something like this...

Code: (C)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9	GtkWidget chooser; / ... some code to setup the chooser here ... / gtk_file_chooser_set_action (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (chooser), GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER); / ... some code to pack or otherwise show the chooser ... */
