Python Traits UI (Enthought)

Question

I am working with some code that uses Traits UI to show a dialog from which the user is able to select two files:

class Files(HasTraits):
    filename_1 = File(exists=True)
    filename_2 = File(exists=True)

    traits_ui = View(
        'filename_1', 'filename_2',
        title   = 'Select Geometry Files',
        buttons = ['OK', 'Cancel']
    )

files = Files()
ui = files.edit_traits(kind='modal')

When editing the filename_1 or filename_2 values, a file chooser dialog is displayed with the title ‘Save As’. I’ve been asked to change the title to ‘Open’ or even ‘Select File’. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find out how I can change this. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Running this now, I see the file browser dialog titled "Select a File". Can you confirm that this issue still exists?

Answer 2

Hi Peter, yes, since posting this message I noticed that the "Save As.." title only appears when the above code is run as part of a larger set of code. On its own, you're correct, it says "Select a File". I never did get to the bottom of why this is the case but, as I don't usually use TraitsUI, I just wrote some plain Qt code. Thanks.
