Using a custom FileFilter with a JFileChooser?

The JFileChooser needs you to extend an instance of javax.swing.filechooser. FileFilter Since you have implements your IDE is importing java.io. FileFilter instead.

Thanks, I did that and now it works, but by default the directory is 'Documents' in my filechooser, so no images are there obviously. When I try to navigate to another directory, they won't show. How can I make the default directory when the filechooser opens set to my Picture folder?

– Chris V. Jan 28 at 20:12 Use the setCurrentDirectory method of JFileChooser. Are you sure your filter isn't just rejecting all possible files?

I would put a breakpoint in the accept method to test. – Pace Jan 28 at 20:41.

Your file filter should accept directories as well. If (file.isDirectory()) return true; even tho your file selection mode is files only (which is correct).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
