Allow FXFileChooser to reuse an existing observable list of paths (or files)

Open Oliver-Loeffler opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

In certain environments (with folders of 100 000s of files) it might be helpful to run a scheduled task to keep the list of files updated. Therefore it might be useful to have FXFileChooser to work with an externally populated observable list.

Furthermore, provide a scheduled Update service which can be used in Swing and JavaFX applications.

Idea

  • Decouple the directory update service from FXFileChooser
  • Make FXFileChooser to use this service

Questions

  • How to deal with manual refreshing? Hide it and rely only on scheduled refreshes?

This should be used as of commit 7a681dfca46aeb2407e86d530c59fc1c86dc9f10 but there is no nice creation or builder API around.
