On XP:
- Launch JFileChooser with Windows L&F
- In the dropdown, select C:
- In the file list, double click "Documents and Settings"
- In the file list, double click your username
Problem 1) Notice that the "My Documents" folder has a distinguishable icon (different than a regular folder). With the native JFileChooser, it doesn't in this view.
- Double click "My Documents"
Problem 2) Look in the dropdown. It shows the wrong location for "My Documents". It should show that you're in "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents". Instead, it shows's that you're in "My Documents", the child of the desktop.
On Vista:
Similar problems appear on Vista with the "user" folder, and the "My Documents" folder. Care needs to be taken to correctly handle these folders on Vista.
