Our users have folders with identical names on various computers (workstations, servers, file servers, etc.), and they are complaining that the file open/save dialog box does not show the full pathname as text, thereby confusing them as to the actual location of the file. The path is shown in the pull-down, but you have to click on the pull-down, then scroll up to see the path. Our users want to see the path as follows (using the example in the picture):
c:/ARM/Customers - Current/UCSD/TESTDATA

Is this possible to do, and, if so, how is it done?

Hi Kim,
You could build your own filechooser, the file plugin has all the functions you need to do that.
That’s a bit of work and definitely not native OS.
To stay cross-platform you need to do the designs for all platforms you support.
I just remembered the Browsersuite having native file open/save choosers.
That one is really taking you ‘OS Style’.
Especially great for MacOS users as the java dialogs don’t look anything like the native ones.
I believe the attached screenshot is what you’re looking for.
