add comment mentioning that returned path is absolute (1.33 KB, patch)

Description Andreas Köhler 2006-11-05 14:08:52 UTC 
Doc for gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames:
Lists all the selected files and subfolders in the current folder of chooser. The returned names are full absolute paths. [...]

The doc for gtk_file_chooser_get_filename does not say so, actually it does not even mention absoluteness.

add comment mentioning that returned path is absolute

Both functions use g_file_get_path() to construct the filename, so it seems that the returned path should be absolute in both cases.
