JFileChooser it loads slowly

[Roldan Baldo]

why is it that JFileChooser will load slowly i have the latest JDK/JRE i think. and no thumbnails in the JFileChooser

any help would be appreciated.

probably would be best for you to prove it, with a compilable/runnable program

        // this is the image from the camera initialize to null
        fromCam = null;

        JFileChooser idBg = new JFileChooser();
        JFrame cFrame = new JFrame();

        idBg.showOpenDialog(cFrame);

        File file = idBg.getSelectedFile();

        try {
            fromCam = ImageIO.read(file);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(mainFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

        /*
         * this is the JDialog Form
         */
        imageFinalize pass = new imageFinalize(this,true,fromCam);
        pass.setVisible(true);

this is the code, theres no thumbnails, unlike windows that you can choose if you want it to be thumbnail,
list or detail.

Do you perhaps have a network mapping that is no longer working?

Hi There , are you talking about uploading Files.
Then when using the JFileChooser to uploading the Files, at the time when using the Chooser just only take the absolute path, then at the time of loading read the file from the Path; read the file part by part or it can have Heap size Issue (for Large files)

[Roldan Baldo]

yes, i am going to get the picture from the disk then load it in my variable/field in my program and use it.

i dont get this straight
"at the time when using the Chooser just only take the absolute path, then at the time of loading read the file from the Path"

because when i load the JFileChooser it direct the path to the "my documents"

[Rohit Kedia]

When you are using the JFIleChooser to select the File Just take a File Reference(which you are doing) and take the Absolute Path.
Then say suppose you want to load it in any Database(say) at that time you can read the File Contents part by part.

[Roldan Baldo]

can you give a code snippet?

On my machine a JFileChooser sometimes loads slowly. Also Windows Explorer sometimes loads slowly. I wouldn't expect Java's code to be better than Windows's code.
