Hello, I have a compile error when trying to use GtkD 2.3.3. When I try to create a FileChooseDialog, I call

new FileChooserDialog("Save File",
                      editor.drawingArea.getParent().getParentWindow(),
                      FileChooserAction.SAVE,
                      ["OK", "Cancel"],
                      [GtkResponseType.OK, GtkResponseType.CANCEL]);

When I do this, I get the error

Error: constructor gtk.FileChooserDialog.FileChooserDialog.this (GtkFileChooserDialog* gtkFileChooserDialog) is not callable using argument types (string, Window, GtkFileChooserAction, string[], GtkResponseType[])

To test why I was getting this error, because there should be another constructor with that signature. After commenting out the one value constructor, I get the error

Error: constructor gtk.FileChooserDialog.FileChooserDialog.this (string title, Window parent, GtkFileChooserAction action, string[] buttonsText, GtkResponseType[] responses) is not callable using argument types (string, Window, GtkFileChooserAction, string[], GtkResponseType[])

I have no idea how this error exists. Can anyone help me fix it?

That looks weird. The documentation says:

this(GtkFileChooserDialog* gtkFileChooserDialog);
    Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class

this(string title, Window parent, FileChooserAction action, string[] buttonsText = null, ResponseType[] responses = null);
    Creates a new GtkFileChooserDialog. This function is analogous to gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons(). Since 2.4

    Params:
    string title 	Title of the dialog, or NULL
    Window parent 	Transient parent of the dialog, or NULL
    FileChooserAction action 	Open or save mode for the dialog
    string[] buttonsText 	text to go in the buttons
    ResponseType[] responses 	response ID's for the buttons

    Throws:
    ConstructionException GTK+ fails to create the object.

Dunno if it's the ResponseType vs GtkResponseType

ResponseType is an alias for GtkReponseType, so that isn't the problem.

getParentWindow() returns an gdk.Window.Window while the FileChooserDialog constructor expects an gtk.Window.Window.

you probably want to use:
cast(gtk.Window.Window)(editor.drawingArea.getToplevel())
if you don't have access to the variable holding your main window.

Perhaps some mismatch between mutable/const/immutable?

Gotcha. I completely forgot to check that because the compiler wasn't disambiguating. Thanks for the reply, worked like a charm.
