Description

Name: rmT116609			Date: 04/06/2003


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b19)

FULL OS VERSION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The JFileChooser does not open multiple files when using the GTK+ look and feel.  Only the first file listed is returned in the array from getSelectedFiles(); the array has length 1.  The Metal look and feel returns an array of all the chosen files.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Choose setMultiSelectioneEnabled(true).
2) Open the JFileChooser.
3) Highlight 2 or more files.
4) Click on the accept button.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
All the files will be returned from getSelectedFiles().
Only the first file listed is returned.  getSelectedFiles() returns an array of length 1.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

		JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
		chooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
		chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
	
		File[] files = chooser.getSelectedFiles();
		System.out.println("Num of files: " + files.length);
		for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
			System.out.println("File " + i + " " + "path: "
					+ files[i].getPath());

EVALUATION Reproducible as indicated. ###@###.### 2003-04-07 Name: pzR10082 Date: 10/17/2003 GTKFileChooserUI.getFileName() returns just one filename -- one of the file selected first. It should return a String containing all file names in quotes, like '"a.txt" "b.txt" "c.txt"'. ###@###.### ====================================================================== Name: pzR10082 Date: 10/21/2003 Method GTKFileChooser.getFileName() will be overridden to return all files selected in the list plus the name typed into the text field. ###@###.### ======================================================================
