exts

)

Parameters:

exts

Definition at line 52 of file FileExtensionFilter.java.

FileExtensionFilter	(	String[]	exts,
		boolean	directories,
		Visibility	vis
	)

If there are dots in the beginning of the exts, we remove them, so that they will still work.

Parameters:

	exts	Pass in null or "" to accept all files. Otherwise, pass in an array of extensions without dots, such as {"jpg", "jpeg", "mpg", "mpeg"}. The matching is case INSENSITIVE.
	directories	true --> we will include directories.
	vis	BOTH --> we will include files or directories that are hidden or whose names start with dots (e.g., .bashrc).

Member Function Documentation

boolean accept

(

File

f

)

This method is for filechoosers, and makes use of acceptDirectories.

See also:

javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter.accept(java.io.File)

Note:

fixed bug from HCILib (which incorrectly says accept(null, ....))

Reimplemented in FileExcludeHiddenFilter.

Definition at line 99 of file FileExtensionFilter.java.

String getDescription

(

)

A string description to display in file choosers.

See also:

javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter.getDescription()

Definition at line 159 of file FileExtensionFilter.java.

void setAcceptDirectories

(

boolean

acceptDirs

)

If we are accepting directories, then ALL directories will be accepted.

We do not apply extensions to directory names. This makes it so that directories will appear in the file chooser even if we have this FileExtensionFilter applied.

Parameters:

acceptDirs
