[/CODE]
the code that crashe's is:

scriptfile=tinyfd_openFileDialog("select which script to load", "", 1, (const char* const*) "script files (*.mge;*.lua)\0*.mge;*.lua", false);

please tell me what is wrong in it!
note that i cant publish all the codes here

I'm not familiar with tinyfd, but the fourth parameter doesn't look right. From the sourceforge page char const * const * const aFileFilters , // NULL or {"*.jpg","*.png"} so you might want to try passing {"*.mge","*.lua"} as the fourth parameter.

[heepoo]

so, if i want to write a discription like script files(*.mge,*.lua), what i have to do?
thanks again

[naraku9333]

Maybe add it to the title.

[heepoo]

if i add it to title, it show's that discription on the title bar of the window!, but i want to show it to the file Type list!

[heepoo]

fixed
i found how to do that!

const char* title[] = {
"script files (*.mge;*.lua)\0*.mge;*.lua"
};

the problem was that i didnt declared an array of char*, and i've got segfaults
now, if you want to have more filters, add it in the array like above, and set the filter to the array length
for example if you have 3 types of filters, you need to set the filter number to 3, and in your array, code them like above as an entry
thanks all for your suggestions

hi, I am the author of tinyfiledialogs,

the filter only accept this kind of arrays:

char const * fileFilters [ ] = { "*.mge" , "*.lua" } ;

you are not suppose to pass any text for the user (the "script files .." part)

[heepoo]

so, if user want's to have a discription, in his or her dialog what he or she has to do?
and, in my idea, all files should not be at the end of discription, the user should specify it
thanks for your reply

[oim oim]

I didn't think it was important, so I didn't implement it. Obviously I was wrong, I will try to add it in a near futur.

[heepoo]

it is very important to some programmers!
and, all files has a description, but other file types have not descriptions!

[oim oim]

I've just released a new version (v2.2) including the filter description. Give it a try.
