File dialog: new folder: can't set name when the folder is empty.

[FabuGrammer]

Using the file dialog.

If you try to create a new folder in an empty folder using the new folder button in the toolbar, new new folder is created with the name "New folder" and there is no way to edit it.

Normally (when the folder is not empty) the new folder appear in name edition mode so you can set the name before it is actually created.

There is no workaround as when you right click the folder there is no menu to allow renaming (there is no pop up menu at all). Also, as soon as you enable weblab as the look and feel you get the weblaf file dialog even if you use the swing file dialog instead of the web file dialog.

Correction, if I type letters even though there is no folder name edition box and press enter, the name of the folder is set properly. The editor is just not visible, that's the issue.

Thanks for reporting!
I will investigate this issue and include a fix into v1.23 release tomorrow.

Thanks.
By the way I'm Ghyz on the forum.
This is my GitHub nic. :)

I see. By the way, you could also post questions and feature request here instead of forum - easier to track and discuss. There are "enhancement" and "question" labels for that case :)

I tried to reproduce but everything works fine for me - whether i create new folder inside an empty folder or somewhere where there are files already.

I guess this might be system-specific or JDK-specific issue, so could you say which JDK/OS you are using?

I was not able to reproduce your bug, but it might be somehow connected to the one i found a few minutes ago while checking the file chooser new folder creation:

That occurs when you enter an empty folder, switch view (tiles->icons or icons->tiles) and try to create new folder. This should be some kind of an update bug, i will fix it now but it might not affect the issue you have described...

I have fixed the issue i described above - check whether your issue is still present in v1.23 release or not:

[mgarin]

It seems that it was fixed with v1.23 update.
If you still have this problem - just report back and i will reopen the issue.

[FabuGrammer]

The initial problem is gone.
However there is a new one introduced by the fix (or something else in 1.24).
When you set the initial folder to an empty folder: fileChooser.setSelectedFile(anEmptyFolder), then the dialog box is wrongly sized when you call showOpenDialog. Please see the picture.

There is indeed an issue with empty folder, thanks for pointing it out :)
Fix will be available in next update.
Here is a separate issue you might want to track: #49
