Re: List of files matching a filter expression.

Oi Fabio, take a look at gtk_file_list_open_dir, you'll find a piece of 
code that looks like this:

list = icon_list->icons;
while(list){
    item = (GtkIconListItem *)list->data;
    file_item = (GtkFileListItem *)item->link;
    .... (do something);
    list = list->next;
}

GtkFileListItem is defined in gtkfilelist.h and has all the info you need.
I hope this helps.
Saludos,
<ADRIAN>
