Very good! If Damjan does tha patch for Windows and I for X11+GTK we need just someone else for X11 w/o GTK. Eventually I can also do it.
About the patch for X11+GTK, a new class DirectoryDialog isn't really necessary. We can still use FileDialog that already has the method getDirectory() Cheers, Costantino 2010/5/4 Damjan Jovanovic <[email protected]>: > On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 4:31 PM, Anthony Petrov <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Costantino, >> >> On 05/02/2010 09:43 PM, Costantino Cerbo wrote: >>> >>> 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.
