# iZo
iZo is a small C++17 static library for native file-system dialogs on Windows
and Linux.
iZo is a small C++17 library that exposes common operating-system services through
one consistent API on Windows and Linux.
## Features
- Open file, including multi-select and file filters
- Save file
- Pick folder
- Open a path with its default application
- Reveal a path in Explorer or the desktop file manager
- Explicit selected, cancelled, and error result states
- Native open, save, folder, and message dialogs
- UTF-8 text clipboard access
- Standard application, user, temporary, and executable paths
- Non-blocking process launch
- Move-only dynamic library handles with automatic cleanup
- Environment variables and basic system information
- Monotonic timing and sleeping
- Recursive or non-recursive directory watching
- Crash callbacks, debugger detection, debug breaks, and debug output
- Opening paths and revealing files in the platform file manager
Windows uses the native Explorer `IFileDialog` API. Linux discovers `zenity` or
`kdialog` at runtime; at least one must be installed for dialogs. Path opening
uses `xdg-open`. Revealing uses the FreeDesktop file-manager D-Bus interface
when available and otherwise opens the parent folder.
Linux dialogs discover `zenity` or `kdialog` at runtime. Linux clipboard access
discovers `wl-clipboard` or `xclip`. No GUI toolkit is linked into applications.
## Build
```sh
cmake -S . -B build -DIZO_BUILD_EXAMPLE=ON
cmake -S . -B build -DIZO_BUILD_EXAMPLE=ON -DIZO_BUILD_TESTS=ON
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build
```

## Usage
Include individual feature headers or the complete API:
```cpp
#include <izo/dialogs.hpp>
#include <izo/izo.hpp>
izo::dialog_options options;
options.title = "Choose an image";
options.filters = {{"Images", {"*.png", "*.jpg"}}};
auto result = izo::open_file(options);
if (result) {
auto selected_path = result.paths.front();
} else if (result.status == izo::dialog_status::error) {
// result.error_message contains the platform failure.
if (auto selection = izo::open_file(options)) {
izo::reveal_in_file_manager(selection.paths.front());
}
auto config = izo::get_known_path(izo::known_path::config);
izo::process_options process;
process.executable = "tool";
process.arguments = {"--input", "asset.png"};
if (auto launched = izo::launch_process(process)) {
// launched.process_id identifies the new process.
}
```
Resource-owning APIs are move-only and clean themselves up:
```cpp
std::string error;
auto library = izo::load_dynamic_library("plugin.dll", &error);
if (library) {
void* entry = library.symbol("initialize_plugin", &error);
}
auto watcher = izo::watch_directory(
{{"assets"}, true},
[](const izo::file_event& event) {
// Handle added, removed, or modified files.
},
&error);
```
Dialog calls block until dismissed. Directory callbacks run on the watcher's worker
thread and must not destroy their own watcher.
