Description

Hi,
I'm writing a file chooser now with FileBrowserSheet. I found that I can only select a file when the mode is SAVE_AS and a directory when the mode is SAVE_TO.

I would like a mode in which I can select either a file or a directory. I find no way to realize this. Please help.

The function shoule be something like what Swing JFileChoose does below:

JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
...
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);

My use case is like this. I am writing a tool which can do some conversion tasks for files. If user selects a file via FileBrowserSheet, the tool will just deal with the selected file. However, if the user selects a folder, the tool will scan and convert all files or filtered files under this folder recursively. This will make the tool look smarter.
