    Default JFileChooser setting directory

    Hello all,

    I have created a jfilechooser and used the setCurrentDirectory method to set the directory which is opened when the filechooser is called. What I want though is for the directory I set to be the only directory available. My code is below :

    JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
                fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
                fileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(".\\Saved"));
     
     
                fileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
                SaveFileFilter filter = new SaveFileFilter();
                fileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);
                fileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
     
     
                fileChooser.showOpenDialog(this);

    I've done the same for the filefilters I've set. Is there any way to set it so only one directory is shown?

    Thanks in advance

    I don't have much time to do some researching, but I found this while googling:
    java - How do I restrict JFileChooser to a directory? - Stack Overflow

    There might also be something useful in one of these tutorials:

    Sorry I can't provide any direct information.
