Directory Picker

[donolsch]

Hi there,
Flet looks really promising! Great work!
I looked through your documentation but couldn't find a widget that supports the selection of multiple folders. It would be extremely handy to have a widget like file picker but instead of selecting files I need to be able to select folders (directories) that are returned as a list. Any plans of implementing that?

Thank you

Yeah, that works great for one folder. But I can't choose multiple folders. For my app it's essential for the user to be able to select multiple folders. The result should be returned as a list containing the directory paths of the selected folders. Or does this already exist? Am I missing something?

For Tkinter apps I was able to use tkfilebrowser which allowed for multiple folder selection.
https://pypi.org/project/tkfilebrowser/ -> askopendirnames -> allow the selection of multiple folders

Ah, alright. It was added some months ago (flutter/packages#3871) by the flutter team.
I think this issue should be moved to the flet repo instead.
