Is there a way to use ItemsView (pywinauto) to select multiple files in Win Explorer?

I am trying to create a way using pywinauto to select multiple files in Win Explorer.
The below code works great to select/get one file, but I am stuck on using the same approach to select multiple files.
The code is part of a method which takes a passed path, then splits the path string to get the filename. I use get_item(filename) to select the file. The last step is a right-click on the file.
if os.path.isdir(fso_to_select):
item_to_select = fso_to_select.split("\\")[-1]
self.__explorer_win = self.__application.Window_(top_level_only=True, active_only=True,
class_name='CabinetWClass')
self.__explorer_win.set_focus().maximize()
fso_item = self.__explorer_win.ItemsView.get_item(item_to_select)
fso_item.right_click_input()

How to correctly use File Explorer browse function - PySimpleGUI

I am trying to use the browse function in PySimpleGUI. I have used PySimpleGUI file browser specific file type to find out how to browse. However there are two file types that I want to choose from and multiple files need to be selected for this to work. My question:
How do you use the browse function for browsing two types of files? and also How do you allow multiple files to be browsed? and finally How do you tell each file apart?
I know that there is a key function for getting data but how can I do that for more than one file.
In case you are a tiny bit confused:
The user must select the browse function and must be able to choose from .txt and .Docx files while selecting more than one file. The program must be able to tell the difference between the files so a function can be run on each file separately.
My code so far:
import PySimpleGUI as sg
sg.theme('DarkAmber') # Add a touch of color
# All the stuff inside your window.
layout = [ [sg.FileBrowse(file_types=(("Text Files", "*.txt"),))],
[sg.Button('Lets GO!!!')]
]
# Create the Window
window = sg.Window('Test', layout).Finalize()
window.Maximize()
Can someone finish this code?

According to the documentation:
file_types=(("Text Files", "*.txt"),("CSV Files", "*.csv"),)
works.

How can PyQt be used to select a save location for a new Folder

I am trying to use PyQt to open a file dialog and then allow the user to select a new location to create a new directory which will be used in the program.
Currently my code looks like this:
dialog = QFileDialog()
dialog.setOption(QFileDialog.ShowDirsOnly, True)
dialog.setWindowTitle(title)
dialog.setAcceptMode(QFileDialog.AcceptOpen)
dialog.setNameFilter(nameFilter)
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog.Directory)
if dialog.exec_() == QFileDialog.Accepted:
return dialog.selectedFiles()[0]
However in the file dialog all the files are still shown and their is no option to select a directory if the user want to overwrite it.
The wanted outcome would show just the directories in the explorer.
Is there a way of doing this using PyQt file dialogs?

Display last added item in ComboBox - Python

I have a GUI with a tool button next to a Combobox. The tool button opens a directory browser to select a file and then adds that file Name to the Combobox drop-down list.
def showFileOpenDialogLoad(self):
""" Opens dialog to get Load file path """
filename = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, 'Open file',
'/home')
self.comboBoxFilePathLoad.addItem(filename)
This works perfectly, however, I then want the Combobox to directly display the last added filename. I have tried using .insertItem(0,filename)instead and then setting self.comboBoxFilePathLoad.currentIndex = -1but it still displays the first added filename even though in the Dropdown list the last added filename is now above the old and displayed one. Apparently in C# you would use cmbBox.SelectedIndex = cmbBox.Items.count -1 but Pyqt does not have a SelectedIndexmethod.
This does not seem like such a difficult question but somehow I can not find a solution to it online... The QComboBox Class Reference does not explain count and CurrentIndex either. Thank you for your help!

Python Qt QFileDialog::getopenFileNames - File select order

I'm writing a small Python code to join text files, and the files are selected as an user input. But it's important that I get the order of the users selection, as I want to join the files in the selected order. But I see that the list returned by getOpenFileNames does not preserve the selection order.
Does anybody have any suggestion to capture the selection order?
Thank you.

I originally wanted to suggest writing a callback for the currentChanged signal that tracks the selection, but it seems like this signal doesn't get called when using getOpenFileNames. An alternative would be displaying the dialog with show() and connecting a callback to filesSelected, which is called after the user clicks the "open" button on the dialog. The argument to the callback is a list with the selected files which seems to be in the order of their selection (just tested it on python3/pyqt4).
def callback(files):
joined_files = ''.join([open(f).read() for f in files])
do_something_with(joined_files)
dialog = QtGui.QFileDialog()
dialog.setFileMode(3) #allow selection of multiple files
dialog.filesSelected.connect(callback)
dialog.show()
One problem with this is that the order isn't indicated to the user in an easy way - the "file" textbox contains the ordered files' names, but this is messy when you select more than a few files. A better but slightly more complicated approach would be building a widget or dialog with a FileDialog for selecting files and a List/TableWidget holding the files to process, where the user could add Files one at a time. This would allow for a better overwiew as well as easy selection of files from multiple directories and better extendability (e.g. filtering, rearranging, sorting the selection).

self.filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(
self,
"Cargar tu documento",
self.lastOpenedFile,
"*.doc;*.odt;*.pdf" )
