[Gvsig_english] QUESTION gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Java File Chooser Options

[Benjamin Ducke]

Ah, the joys of Java Swing!
As a work-around, I always try to hit the little icon
to the left of the file name, not the file name entry
itself. Sometimes, that also puts the name in editing
mode, but repeated double-clicking on the icon will
eventually open the file/folder...

Cheers,

Ben

It's a known java bug. It's open since 1998 

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4198808 

and still not fixed.

Hi, 

I have been chasing my tail regarding this problem and can't seem to find one on the Sun Microsystems Site so I will endevour to get answers here. 

I presume that I am not alone here so others on this list would have to have addressed this issue or resigned themselves to the observed behaviour. 

OK. 

Problem: When choosing a file with the standard open file dialog (project, shapefile, etc) when you double click on the directory or file, the directory name or file name is edited rather than opened. If you hit the left mouse is extremely fast succession you are able to drill down the directory tree but I mean extremely fast succession (i.e. two hands with the mouse being tapped 10-20 times per second). 

After many attempts to resolve this issue I have narrowed it down to a problem with the Java Swing File Chooser library. 

Am I the only one who gets this problem? I had it in Windows Vista using a Tablet and now when using gvSIG under Ubuntu. The problem is not apparent in Windows XP Pro (even when using VirtualBox). 

You can work around the problem by selecting a directory or file and pressing open or enter but this is quite irritating. 

Help? :-/
