DirectoryFieldEditorQuestion [message #446130]

Hi,

I have a DirectoryFieldEditor that is behaving badly.

If the user opens the preference page containing the DirectoryFieldEditor
then clicks the OK button without changing the value in the field then the
value for the field is deleted in the preferences store. I have an
IntegerFieldEditor and a ColorFieldEditor on the same page and these do not
exhibit this bad behavior.

Obviously, if the user does not change the setting in the
DirectoryFieldEditor then clicking OK should have no effect on the value.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Veronika,

I figured it out.
It was my problem.
I was setting the default value to be the "current value" when my
application started.
At storage time, when the default == current, the value is cleared in the
preferences store - which makes sense.

Thanks again,
Mark
