File Selector

Hi,

How can I open the Swing-FileSelector in a special subdir?

I tried it with the pathname as String, but the FileSelector starts
always in the default dir.

Thank you.

Greetings,

Michael Pock

This works for me (JDK 1.4.2):

JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser("c:/temp");

If you're talking about JFileChooser, use the setCurrentDirectory() method,
but it doesn't take a String parameter, it takes a File object parameter:

myChooser.setCurrentDirectory( new File("startingdir") );
