In our installation program I want to enable users to use install directory which, obviously, does not exist yet. I want that when the Browse button is pressed, a JFileChooser dialog will be opened, and will be initialized with the currently selected directory. However, setCurrentDirectory only works with existing directories, and setSel...

I am trying to Implement a JFileChooser that allows a user to select files on a remote system via ftp. Everything I've read says this can be accomplished by extending FileSystemView so that all the file system methods (getFiles, etc) are overridden and routed across ftp. I haven't had any luck implementing this, as FileSystemView appea...
I've created a JFileChooser which I use to locate a directory for a file to be saved to. saveChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY); saveChooser.showSaveDialog(null); String exportPath = saveChooser.getCurrentDirectory() + "\\exportedData.txt"; System.out.println(exportPath); (I then use exportPath for my file wri...

The JFileChooser window opens fine when I click my import button and I can navigate to any field but I just cant read them into my JTextFields. Heres my JFileChooser m...
Hey guys I am working on a project, in java, where the user has to choose a file to be uploaded through a jfilechooser. Is there anyway to make the textfield readonly so that you can only choose files by clicking them, and not by writing in the textfield. I hope that i made my problem clear ;D ...
In NetBeans, there is an object called a JFileChooser. I wanted to ask how you can set up a filter in order to just show files that have a .wds extension. .wds is an extension I use in my program. ...
There are already some questions about how to set a default file name for a JFileChooser control. I'm having a few problems with preserving that default filename when switching directories. Right now, when I do that, the original filename I supplied get over overwritten by the path of the new directory itself. Is there anything can be ...
Hi Experts, I want to create a text editor (using java/swing) like notepad. For this I need the implementation of saving file. mean if the user clicks on "save" first time then the dialog should appear for taking file-name, file-extension. But if he clicks again on same "save" button then the file should save without appearing the "save...
Hello, I have a Java GUI project containing a JMenuBar and I just added a JToolBar. In the previous version, the events were implemented in the same class that extends the JMenuBar. I found it lame and moved the events in another class that extends AbstractAction. My aim is to centralize all the common events to make them react to diffe...
I want to include an additional (optional) JTextField in the FileChooser, allowing the user to fill it in while choosing the file rather than giving them an additional prompt after they make their choice. Has anybody attempted something similar and found a working solution? My target result would look something like this: http://imgur.c...
I'm working on an application which needs to select files. JFileChooser is a great start, but I need to augment it. I can start it at one particular directory with JFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(), but how can I offer the user a "favorites" functionality, either in terms of favorite files saved for later, or favorite directories to jum...

I'm trying to generate a JFileChooser that has the Windows look-and-feel. I couldn't find a method to change it, so I created a base class that extends JFileChooser that changes the UI with the following code: public FileChooser(){ this(null); } public FileChooser(String path){ super(path); try { UIManager.setLookAndFeel(...
The following code was generated automatically by Netbeans 6.8 Mac version public class fileBrowser extends javax.swing.JPanel { /** Creates new form fileBrowser */ public fileBrowser() { initComponents(); } /** This method is called from within the constructor to * initialize the form. * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The co...
How can I enforce the JFileChooser filetype (when saving). I have implemented a file filter (CSV filetype) but it does not in any way enforce the file extension on the user. I need the file chooser to append the file extension to the filename if the user has not done so. I am guessing that it would be possible to check fileChooser.getS...
Good afternoon, I am working on a little program that needs the ability to let users browse files and directories on networked machines as well as the local filesystem. I made the mistake of developing this component on a Windows machine... it worked fine there, but hid the fact that JFileChooser doesn't really "see" networked drives. O...
Hi guys, I have a question about the JFileChooser in Swing. I'm trying to get multiple file extensions in the drop-down box, but have no idea how to do it. There is the method extFilter = FileNameExtensionFilter(description, extensions); that I can then use by writing fileChooser.setFileFilter(extFilter); however, as you can see,...
public class DocFilter extends FileFilter { public boolean accept(File f) { if (f.isDirectory()) { return true; } String extension = Utils.getExtension(f); if (extension != null) { if (extension.equals(Utils.doc) || extension.equals(Utils.docx) ) { ...
