Hi Costantino,

I was wrong: I meant the issue 6927978 (Directory Selection standard
dialog support) and not the 6705345 (that's already fixed).
The goal is to add to the FileDialog a feature like the
JFileChooser#setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY).
Thanks for the correction.
My idea it to allow FileDialog#setMode(.) to accept also the value
LOAD_DIRECTORIES_ONLY ( = 2).
It's a minimal change that doesn't broke the existing API. Do you
agree to do so?
Yes, I strongly agree that AWT FileDialog should support selecting
directories. That might even be another class like DirectoryDialog,
since the API for these operations differs quite a lot. However,
currently we have three different implementations of the FileDialog on:
1. MS Windows
2. X11 + GTK
3. X11 w/o GTK
And we actually have to be able to display a directory chooser on each
of the 'platforms' as well. W/o that I'm afraid we can't accept such a fix.
I can do the fix for GTK. Does anybody in this mailing list want to
deliver the patch for windows?
Anyone please?
