With my current code, it does not matter whether I click on "Input Folder" - Change or "JukeBox" change the result always gets displayed in "JukeBox" entry. This is incorrect, using class and self how can I change the code to display result from "Input Folder" - Change in "Input Folder" entry and the result from "Jukbox" - Change in "Jukebox" entry?
Also, how can I save the selected folders to a file so that it is there on app exit and re open?
My code:
import os
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog
inPut_dir = ''
jukeBox_dir = ''
def inPut():
opendir = filedialog.askdirectory(parent=root,initialdir="/",title='Input Folder')
inPut_dir = StringVar()
inPut_dir = os.path.abspath(opendir)
entry.delete(0, END)
entry.insert(0, inPut_dir)
def jukeBox():
opendir = filedialog.askdirectory(parent=root,initialdir="/",title='JukeBox')
jukeBox_dir = StringVar()
jukeBox_dir = os.path.abspath(opendir)
entry.delete(0, END)
entry.insert(0, jukeBox_dir)
root = Tk()
root.geometry("640x240")
root.title("Settings")
frametop = Frame(root)
framebottom = Frame(root)
frameright = Frame(framebottom)
text = Label(frametop, text="Input Folder").grid(row=5, column=2)
entry = Entry(frametop, width=50, textvariable=inPut_dir)
entry.grid(row=5,column=4,padx=2,pady=2,sticky='we',columnspan=20)
text = Label(frametop, text="JukeBox").grid(row=6, column=2)
entry = Entry(frametop, width=50, textvariable=jukeBox_dir)
entry.grid(row=6,column=4,padx=2,pady=2,sticky='we',columnspan=20)
ButtonA = Button(frametop, text="Change", command=inPut).grid(row=5, column=28)
ButtonB = Button(frametop, text="Change", command=jukeBox).grid(row=6, column=28)
ButtonC = Button(frameright, text="OK").grid(row=5, column=20, padx=10)
ButtonD = Button(frameright, text="Cancel").grid(row=5, column=15)
frametop.pack(side=TOP, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
framebottom.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
frameright.pack(side=RIGHT)
root.mainloop()

Your code has both:
entry = Entry(frametop, width=50, textvariable=inPut_dir)
entry.grid(row=5,column=4,padx=2,pady=2,sticky='we',columnspan=20)
and
entry = Entry(frametop, width=50, textvariable=jukeBox_dir)
entry.grid(row=6,column=4,padx=2,pady=2,sticky='we',columnspan=20)
with jukeBox_dir/row 6 overriding inPut_dir/row 5
Therefore, in def input:
where you have:
entry.insert(0, inPut_dir)
You'll get the result in row 5 (jukebox_dir)
