JFileChooser features

Show all headers | View raw

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Does anyone know if there's a reliable alternate file browsing dialog,
or if JFileChooser is being worked on? It lacks many features that the
simple native Windows FileDialog has, such as the different views,
popup-menu operations, etc.

This is most apparent when using Windows L&F. With multi-selection
enabled, you can't drag-select. You also can't use CTRL+A to select
all *unless* you have an item selected. Also, with the right-click
popup-menu, the look/feel is off (abnormal highlighting for example).
I feel that JFileChooser is lagging being in the simple features such
as copy/paste/delete/rename where other Swing components fit in really
well.

Anyone else feel this way? Any suggestions? This issue has led me to
look towards SWT...
