Hi, is there a way to open a Folder selector when clicking a button, then register the path to a MutableState<String> ? I have pretty much all steps done but I don't know how to create a Folder selector ? (I know there is java.awt.FileDialog but I can't find anywhere how to select folders with it)

val chooser = JFileChooser()
    chooser.fileSelectionMode = JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY
    val returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(frame)
    if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
      frame.dispose()
      currentDirectory = chooser.selectedFile
    } else {
      currentDirectory = null
    }

What is frame ?

[eygraber]

It's a JFrame

[eygraber]

val frame = JFrame().apply {
      defaultCloseOperation = JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE
      val screenBounds = graphicsConfiguration.bounds
      val x = (screenBounds.width - width) / 2 + screenBounds.x
      val y = (screenBounds.height - height) / 2 + screenBounds.y
      setLocation(x, y)
      isVisible = true
    }

But is there a way to use the default file selector from the OS instead of the horrible one from Swing ?

If you use UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()) it's almost the same

Oh I didn't know there was this thing, thanks !
