Hi,

I notice that when I select a folder using the DirectoryDialog, the selection gets remembered (I supposed by the OS) and when I open the dialog later it points to the last selected location. I'm not setting any filter path programmatically.

My question is - can I get this "remembered" last selected folder somehow in SWT or plain Java?

Thanks!
Dinko

This is normal OS behavior. If you use another program and choose a folder, you will get this folder. If you want to avoid this, you need to keep track of the last selected directory in your program!

Thanks Martin!

That makes sense. I was wondering if I can get programatically the value, by some native call in SWT. Apparently not: https://stackoverflow.com/a/65220084/1649388

Best Regards,
