Improved UI because it includes breaking changes.

Usage

import gradio as gr
from gradio_improvedfileexplorer import ImprovedFileExplorer


import os

with gr.Blocks() as demo:

    fe.change(fn = lambda files: print(files), inputs = fe)

if __name__ == "__main__":

ImprovedFileExplorer

This component works basically the same as Gradio's original File Explorer, but it has (in my opinion) better UI.

Changes

Select single folders

Up to this date, Gradio has a bug that if you allow users to only select folders (glob = "./**/") and file_count = "single", you can not select anything. Look at this issue.

This problem is solved by changing you select folders. Now the checkbox nect to them select the folder

No recursive selection

When you select folder it no longer selects everything inside nor it opens the file tree. It just selects the folder.

Select all contents of a folder

If you need to select all the contents of a folder, you can open the folder and select "Select all contents" whcih will select or deselect everything inside the folder. *It will not select the folder itself
