since: 4.18

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    gtk_file_dialog_open_multiple_text_files (
      GtkFileDialog* self,

      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Presents a file chooser dialog to the user.

The file chooser dialog will be set up to select multiple files.

The file chooser dialog will initially be opened in the directory `GtkFileDialog:initial-folder`.

In contrast to `gtk_file_dialog_open()`, this function lets the user select the text encoding for the files, if possible.

The `callback` will be called when the dialog is closed.
