SF Tools | Unity File Browser

A simple wrapper for native file dialogs on Windows/Mac/Linux/Web.

• Works in editor and runtime.
• Open file/folder, save file dialogs supported.
• Multiple file selection.
• File extension filter.
• Mono/IL2CPP backends supported.
• Linux support by Ricardo Rodrigues.
• Basic WebGL support.

Example usage:

// Open file
var paths = StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileBrowser().OpenFilePanel("Open File", "", "", false);

// Open file async
StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileBrowser().OpenFilePanelAsync("Open File", "", "", false, (string[] paths) => {  });

// Open file with filter
var extensions = new [] {
    new ExtensionFilter("Image Files", "png", "jpg", "jpeg" ),
    new ExtensionFilter("Sound Files", "mp3", "wav" ),
    new ExtensionFilter("All Files", "*" ),
};
var paths = StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileBrowser().OpenFilePanel("Open File", "", extensions, true);

// Save file
var path = StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileBrowser().SaveFilePanel("Save File", "", "", "");

// Save file async
StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileBrowser().SaveFilePanelAsync("Save File", "", "", "", (string path) => {  });

// Save file with filter
var extensionList = new [] {
    new ExtensionFilter("Binary", "bin"),
    new ExtensionFilter("Text", "txt"),
};
var path = StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileBrowser().SaveFilePanel("Save File", "", "MySaveFile", extensionList);

// Open file directly
StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileIO.OpenFileAsync(contents => { });

// Save file directly
string contents = "{}";
StandaloneFileBrowserHelper.GetFileIO.SaveFileAsync("path/to/file.json", contents);

Notes:

• Windows

  • Requires .NET 2.0 api compatibility level
  • Async dialog opening not implemented, ..Async methods simply calls regular sync methods.
  • Plugin import settings should be like this;

  

• Mac

  • Sync calls are throws an exception at development build after native panel loses and gains focus. Use async calls to avoid this.

WebGL:

• Basic upload/download file support.
• File filter support.
