    Default JChooser save ---> Works but Can't see the saved image in the folder

    Hello,

    I have written a code to upload an Image Icon to Jlabel by JChooser and save Image Icon. "Both of them work".

    But when I save the Image to given location I cannot see it after. Can you please help me to find the mistake?

    JButton OpenIcon = new JButton("Open New map");
    		OpenIcon.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
    				JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    				chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
    				int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
     
    				if(returnVal ==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
    					File file =chooser.getSelectedFile();
    					Fpath = file.getPath();
    					ImageIcon Sicon = new ImageIcon(Fpath);
    					pic.setIcon(Sicon);
    					pic.repaint();
     
    				}
     
    			}
    		});
     
     
     
    		JButton Save = new JButton("Save New Map");
     
    		Save.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    				try{
    					Sicon = (ImageIcon) pic.getIcon();
    					bi = new BufferedImage(Sicon.getIconHeight(),
    							   Sicon.getIconWidth(),
    							   BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    					Graphics g = bi.createGraphics();
    					fill = new File("outputFile");
    				JFileChooser chooserS = new JFileChooser();
    				chooserS.addChoosableFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
    				chooserS.setSelectedFile(fill);
     
     
    				int returnVal = chooserS.showSaveDialog(null);
    				if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
     
    						ImageIO.write(bi, "JPG", fill);
    						File filr =chooserS.getSelectedFile();
    						System.out.println("Save as file: " + filr.getAbsolutePath());
     
    				}else{
    					System.out.println("Saving was cancelled by user.");
    					}						
    				}catch(IOException io){
    					io.printStackTrace();
    				}

    I load the Image by browse JChooser, it loads and it's there. Then I want to save the Image which I just loaded. I have converted the Image Icon into BufferedImage so I can save it.

    When it's saved I get messaged that the Image was saved into some folder. But when I open the given folder it's not there. Can you please help me to find why it's not working?

    In the save button's event handler you create a new (empty) BufferedImage, bi. And you create a graphics context, g, based on that image. But, unless I'm missing something, you don't actually use that graphics to draw anything into your image.

    Also ImageIcon has a getImage() method that might, more easily get at the image you want to save.

    -----

    This doesn't actually address your problem! "But when I open the given folder it's not there." Print the actual file you use as the destination:

    ImageIO.write(bi, "JPG", fill);
    System.out.println("written to " + fill.getAbsolutePath());
    File filr =chooserS.getSelectedFile();
    // etc

    Also try printing the results of exists() on fill. (And check the console for any IOException!)

    Cool thx ur post actually helped me. I found that little hidden mistake;

    Thx

    It was in : File filr =chooserS.getSelectedFile();
    ImageIO.write(bi, "JPG", filr);
    System.out.println("Save as file: " + filr.getAbsolutePath());


    I had to use different File
