    First one are method name, second one are status name.

    
def open_file_dialog(self):
       self.dialog_file_open = True
       pass

    Yoda level preference war.

      I tend to add is to booleans toreally differentiate between a method name and a status.

      def open_file_dialog(self):
    self.dialog_file_is_open = True
    pass

      That way, it’s easier for my dumb brain to spot which is which at a glance.

            that works for 2 word names eg is_open or is_file, but in this case is_dialog_file_open is structured like a question, while dialog_file_is_open is structured like a statement

              Doesn’t matter, the point is that, if it starts with “is” then you automatically know it’s a boolean.
