FXFileChooser 0.0.9

What's Changed

• Add checkstyle and editorconfig to ensure consistent formatting conventions (#52, #51)
• All dependencies updated to most recent state which works with Java-8. Unfortunately TestFX on MacOS 12 no longer work properly. (#54)
• Demos are no longer packaged into JAR, they still are part of the Maven project but are no longer deployed (#56)
• Director Chooser no longer pre-fetches subdirectory contents as this may lead to unwanted blocking on large shares (#59).
• Deprecated DirectoryChooserView and FileChooserView classes as they are not compatible with SceneBuilder or FXML.
• A customized directory chooser which works also well with large shares has been added. It also integrates well with the file chooser stage view. (#23). Usage of JavaFX platform specific directory chooser is still possible.
• Modality of FXFileChooserStage can be configured via call to initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL). (#36)
• FXFileChooser shall show latest selected directory in window title (#38)
• FileChooser offers now a more finegrained filtering technique where a string like somefile* is interpreted as startsWith,something like *xyz as endsWith and the version like xyz*abc as startsWith xyz and endsWith abc.
• When entered .. in search field and confirmed with [ENTER] file chooser will navigate the directory tree up. Also when any legal and existing path is pasted, file chooser will switch the directory.
• There are now basic configurations to control SwingFileChooser behavior and Directory/FileChooser appearance. It is possible to provided basic settings via properties files on classpath or programmatically.

New Contributors

• @aashideacon made their first contribution in #50 - thanks a lot for preparing the module-info in order to get the project modularized,

FXFileChooser 0.0.7

What's Changed

Bug fixes

• When using the net.raumzeitfalle.fx.filechooser.FXFileChooserDialog version, a double click on a file inside the dialog will cause the file to be selected. With oder versions the dialog was just closed and no file was returned. Thanks to @ArchibaldBienetre for pointing this out and testing!

New functions

• When typing a fully qualified directory name in the filter criterion TextField, with pressing [RETURN] the file chooser will change the directory without using the Directory Chooser.
• When e.g. pasting a fully qualified path name pointing to a file from clipboard, by pressing [RETURN] the file chooser will switch to the directory where the file is supposed to exist, if the file exists, it will select the file. Pressing [RETURN] again will accept the file and close the file chooser.
• The net.raumzeitfalle.fx.filechooser.SwingFileChooser no longer uses the system directory chooser but the net.raumzeitfalle.fx.dirchooser.DirectoryChooserView instead. Its also defined in FXML and its no longer a separate dialog, its a 2nd scene where the view changes to when requested. This DirectoryChooser uses a TreeView and scans only the first level of directories. For crowded directories a progress indicator is added to show the scanning activity. The scanned tree is kept in memory until one switches to another directory. This is quite experimental.

Many thanks to @ArchibaldBienetre for testing this with Java-18 and JavaFX18 - very cool that it still works on the modern runtime.
