nfd-rs
Rust bindings for native file dialogs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
What is nfd-rs?
nfd-rs is a Rust library that provides bindings to nativefiledialog, enabling cross-platform file dialog functionality in Rust applications. It allows developers to open OS-native file dialogs for selecting single or multiple files, as well as save dialogs, without writing platform-specific code. The library abstracts away the differences between Linux, macOS, and Windows, offering a unified API.
Rust developers building desktop applications or CLI tools that require graphical file selection interfaces. It's particularly useful for projects needing native system integration without external GUI frameworks.
Developers choose nfd-rs for its lightweight, cross-platform approach to file dialogs, leveraging native OS components for better user experience and reduced maintenance. It simplifies file I/O interactions in Rust by providing a clean, idiomatic API backed by proven native libraries.
