Thanks John! I've been learning A LOT from your videos from scratch! I'm not a programmer, just curious and trying to apply something to my job! Thanks for your dedication!! I'll put an issue here that I had to troubleshoot, in case it happens to another one. When using this, I had this error: codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] and something about an encoding error - I finally solved it by putting a second code line (right after getting root.filename), and put: root.filename = root.filename.name - then it just took the location, but not the encoding option Thanks again!

Thanks for this tutorial, I have just one question: I with there was a way to remove the "All Files" portion of the code and still have it run so that you can restrict what type of files a user is allowed to select. If there is a solution to this, please tell me, Thanks!

[@remus-alexandrusimion3439]

Kinda late to the party but doesn't removing that section of code remove the "all files"? Also, as a user, I hate when programmers do that. Because if i'm lacking the file there's no way for me to distinguish between "I have no file" and "it doesn't load any file". Better allow "all files" and validate the filetype after. That way the user can at least validate that his computer isn't frozen, and that files are actually loading, but they're not providing valid files. Cheers!

[@Refnom95]

Thanks for the great videos! Would be very grateful if you could answer a quick question? What is the reason for assigning the file path string to 'root.filename'? From what I understand, this creates a new attribute called 'filename' for the 'root' object. What is the advantage of doing this instead of just assigning it to a normal variable (ie. just 'filename')?

Hi, this is a great tutorial! I'd love if you can provide more clarity on defining a global variable inside a function. Based on my relatively limited knowledge, it is regarded as a bad practice in any situation & secondly, why do we have to do that in context of what we're trying to achieve in this video. Thanks!

[@Codemycom]

Can you explain why you think it's a bad practice? What makes it bad.

[@akshitmiglani5419]

@@Codemycom Sure, I can give it a try. Correct me if you think I'm wrong. "Defining" a variable global inside a function normally means that we have it declared in the main code & we're just referring to in case we want to change it. So, if we are to use this variable outside, I'm not sure if it'd the same thing as the case I mentioned(having it declared outside & referred inside the function using global). Hope I make sense.

[@Gbtx6]

@@akshitmiglani5419 I know it's been a year, but for anyone going through the comments: The instructor forgot that the variable was no longer outside of the function so he just forgot to get rid of the global my_image variable. So Akshit was correct, but might've missed that the instructor didn't realize what had happened. To clear things up here's the whole thing summed up: if you create a function and try to refer to a variable that had been created outside of it and before it, but inside this or any other function without the global keyword, python will assume you just want to create a new variable that only exists inside of this function. As I said before, by using global in front of an already created variable outside and before the function, we're basically letting python know that this variable already exists globally. What's funny here is that python is so flexible it doesn't even care that global my_image didn't exist. it just did what it had to with no errors.

@@Codemycom please make it asap and also make a video on how to open and display text,docx or all types of files from dialogbox in tkinter

The "my_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(root.folder_select))" command is not working(can't see the image) even though I installed the PIL library plz can you help me

[@Codemycom]

There's likely an error in your code. You capitalized or didn't capitalize something. Also, what is root.folder_select? Maybe that's your problem

[@prathvikothari3513]

@@Codemycom actually I didn't declare the global variable in the function 😅 Thanks for your video!!!

I don’t know why but my filter ain’t working. All the filetypes I give are applied automatically and then I cannot select any filetype. They automatically apply all types.

You have an error in your code.

Good day, please help. The root.filename returns '' . i dont understand what is happening. Thanks in advance.

[@9MRantu]

I don't know if it's too late, it was happening to me too, and didn't let me place the image then either I finally solved it by putting a second code line (right after getting root.filename), and put: root.filename = root.filename.name - then it just took the location
