since: 4.10

#### Description [src]

    final class Gtk.FileDialog : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A `GtkFileDialog` object collects the arguments that are needed to present a file chooser dialog to the user, such as a title for the dialog and whether it should be modal.

The dialog is shown with `gtk_file_dialog_open()`, `gtk_file_dialog_save()`, etc. These APIs follow the GIO async pattern, and the result can be obtained by calling the corresponding finish function, for example `gtk_file_dialog_open_finish()`.
