FileDialog Rap 3.0+ Filter [message #1721724]

Hello,

we really like the new FileDialog, especially the drag and drop functionality is a great addition.

Are there plans to add the filter functionality that is provided in the SWT counterpart? [1] Would that be part of 3.1? We really need to limit the number of files a user can upload. Otherwise a user would be notified of unsuitable files after the dialog is closed, the files would be uploaded to the server although they are unacceptable, etc... It would be great if there was at least a method to add custom validators or anything of that nature. Or are we missing something here, and this is already possible?

Thanks,
Tibu

Hi,
there are some differences between the API for filtering in SWT and the
one used by browser. In SWT it's based on file extension, in browser on
file MIME type. More over, not all supported by RAP browsers can filter
files shown in "File browse" native dialog. That's the reason why this
feature is not implemented. See this bugzilla:
433501: [FileDialog] Filtering of extensions, path and filename not
possible anymore
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433501
Regards,
Ivan

Thanks Ivan!

One more quick question: How do we translate the dialog? I tried adding a org.eclipse.swt.internal.SWTMessages_de.properties and put a translation for the key SWT_Add into it, but the dialog is still english. (Run parameters "-nl de" and "-Duser.language=de")

That's strange... the strings must be in exactly this location
SWTMessages resource bundle and the keys are SWT_Add, SWT_Browse, SWT_OK...
