Problem You have displayed a directory tree using a GtkTreeView in Part 1 as shown below:
Let's now improve on this with the following:
- Add a folder icon in front each directory
- Show different icons for expanded and closed TreeView item
- Just like a standard windows explorer, we will list the folders first, followed by the files
This is as shown below:
Solution
Sample Code Note 1: If you select "C:\", the program will run, but it will take a long time. You will see the processing, though, in the command window.
Note 2: On windows, you may see a warning "Gtk-WARNING: Could not find the icon 'stock_unknown'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it." This is from the GtkFileChooserButton. It's just a warning. You may ignore it, or go ahead and install it.
Note 3: The following image files are required by the sample code below. Please save a copy of the image files and put them in the same directory where you store the sample code.

Explanation The above sample code is based on How to display directory tree using GtkTreeView - Part 1?
What's new here:
- Set up the GtkCellRendererPixbuf.
- Set the images for open and closed expander.
- Set up the GtkCellRenderer.
- Add the directories first.
- Then add the files.
- If there are no files in a directory, let's add an empty entry. Otherwise you will find that the folder icon will not be displayed. Try commenting this line out and you will know what I mean.
