How to specify the parent directory in SystemRemoteFileDialog [message #30287]

Hi,

The default searching directories are "My Home" and "Root" in
SystemRemoteFileDialog.

Is there anyway to enable the textfield in the dialog to let user specify
where to browse from?

Or should I construct other kind of dialog which may have more flexible UI
for file browsing in the remote host?

Great thanks for advice.

Wendy

Hi Wendy,

SystemRemoteResourceDialog#setPreselection() is what you want.
For details, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174944
as well as the EclipseCon 2008 Tutorial code from
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/?page=sub/&id=38
(click on the "Presentation" link on top to get the ZIP
file which includes the sample code).

Cheers,

Thank you, Martin.

SystemRemoteResourceDialog#setPreselection() works in function.

It is quite slow. Is that because we have mounted file system
and the API is doing some searching?

But it works. Thanks.

Regards,
Wendy

Hi Wendy,

in order to set the preselection properly, the code must
list the directories of all parent folders of your selected
folder. This may take some time.

Please file a bug if you believe this doesn't explain the
slowness sufficiently.

Thanks,
