'Open folder' NOK in OS X [BUG] about jexiftoolgui HOT 7 CLOSED

oh, sorry. I focused on the wrong one.
I will look at the jfilechooser.

from jexiftoolgui.

If you double-click on a folder it does indeed open. And only when you have sub-folders below it, you can select these by single-click. If the folder only contains files, you can't select anything.
(And again: if you double-click a sub-folder and that sub-folder only contains files, there is nothing "to OK" either.)

You are using the AWT filedialog. It is extremely old and I really regret it that I added it on request. One of the big weaknesses is that it actually doesn't support opening folders.
There are multiple bugs registered for MacOS on levels from Sierra, High Sierra, Catalina, etc. ranging from Java7, java8 to Java12. Next to that: the bug happens multiple but is not always 100% reproducible.
Some simply say "use jfilechooser".

I'm a bit without a clue here. I now tried "an old trick". It works on my old El Capitan version (but the current version does as well).

Edit:
Please try this version

(First one was incorrect link)

Hi,

I'm using jfilechooser ;-(

from jexiftoolgui.

I made some minor changes specifically to MacOS behavior.
Please try this version. (same as version under #70)

If that still doesn't work correctly:
Can you please do the following:

• Open jExifToolGUI and switch off logging (Preferences -> System -> LogLevel -> Off)
• Close jExifToolGUI and open it from a terminal: open <path_to>/jExifToolGUI.app

You will see some logging pass by as that is from java itself, the logging class (INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.....) and the process looking at the "drag&drop" (empty watch list...).
Please try the open file dialog and please check if MacOS itself generates errors/warning/logging.

I have followed your steps and now it works correctly...
But I don't see the errors printed as you indicate

But... now I have discovered a problem (a problem of mine?) of use that is due to that there is a small curiosity of GUI.

• If I click on the folder and press the 'Open' button > it works OK
• But if I 'double click' on the folder, it opens and does NOT show the illuminated files.

I mean... I just tried version 1.6.2 and it works OK, just that curious behavior that has disoriented me

Yes, excuse me... I have understood.
But I don't know why I saw an error in this
possibly due to a keyboard overdose ;-/
