Hi,
I am using APP on windows. The own (non windows standard) file open dialog used in APP is a little bit difficult to use:
- no "favorites" available, stored in Windows Explorer
- any little movement of the mouse during double click won't activate the double click action (in windows file dialog this is no problem), instead nothing happens
So my feature request is to replace the app own dialog box with the windows standard dialog to enabling the use of all the windows file explorer features.
The second thing is the start dialog box of APP for choosing the working directory: APP doesn't remember the working directory of the previous session, so you have to start over from scratch each time you start APP to find the desired directory. I am using a network drive on my NAS with some deep directory hierarchy, so it is a little bit annoying going into the right directory again and again...
It would help if APP offers the old directory of the previous session as a starting point.
Thanks,
Markus
@markusd112 Thank you for the feedback.

To my best of knowledge, Java (the language in which APP is developed) doesn't provide such a functionality.

This and saving other user settings will be part of the next major release which currently is in preparation.
This is for swing and may not be part of the OpenJDK but this might help:
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
jfc.showOpenDialog(null);@turtlecat1000 Thanks for your input. However, this is the look and feel. That doesn't mean that all the windows explorer features are used, does it?

No, not all the features as I understand it. But I think the similarity of the native OS would be a good middle ground.
