How to make a new folder using askdirectory dialog in Tkinter?
To make a new folder using askdirectory dialog in Tkinter, we can take the following steps −
Import the required modules. filedialog module is required for askdirectory method. os module is required for makedirs method.
Create an instance of tkinter frame.
Set the size of the frame using win.geometry method.
Define a user-defined method "create_subfolder". Inside the method, call filedialog.askdirectory to select a folder and save the path in a variable, source_path.
We can use askdirectory method of filedialog to open a directory. Save the path of the selected directory in a 'path' variable.
Then, use os.path.join and makedirs to create a sub-folder inside the parent directory.
Create a button to call the create_subfolder method.
Example
# Import the required libraries
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import filedialog
import os
# Create an instance of tkinter frame or window
win = Tk()
# Set the size of the window
win.geometry("700x350")
def create_subfolder():
source_path = filedialog.askdirectory(title='Select the Parent Directory')
path = os.path.join(source_path, 'Images')
os.makedirs(path)
button1 = ttk.Button(win, text="Select a Folder", command=create_subfolder)
button1.pack(pady=5)
win.mainloop()Output
