Need help to setup a predefined path for file browser widget when chosen

[Ms-Ajith]

Hello Guys. I am new to Gooey and I am trying to create a GUI for my work. So for file browser widget, how can I setup a predefined dir to open as default rather to select every time?

Checkout the various options available to Gooey in the docs. You can pass a default_path option when using DirectoryChooser.

Here's an example:

parser.add_argument("DirectoryChooser", widget="DirChooser",
                        gooey_options={
                            'wildcard':
                                "Comma separated file (*.csv)|*.csv|"
                                "All files (*.*)|*.*",
                            'message': "pick folder",
                            'default_path': r"C:\Users\Chris\Documents\stuff"
                        })
