File Chooser Configuration

Preview Component

The component used to display the selected file preview in the browser view can be replaced by setting the client property JFileChooser.previewComponent on the JFileChooser. The value must be a Component.

Traversing packages and applications

By default, the file chooser does not allow the user to traverse into a package or a bundled application. This default behavior can be changed by setting the client properties JFileChooser.packageIsTraversable and JFileChooser.appBundleIsTraversable to (Boolean) true on the JFileChooser.

Options button

The display of the Options button can be controlled using the boolean client property JFileChooser.optionsPanelEnabled.

New Folder button

The display of the New Folder button can be controlled using the boolean client property JFileChooser.canCreateDirectories.
