This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Using Orion 020329 kit, JDK 1.4.0, Windows 2000 To reproduce: 1) View the Explorer 2) Mount a filesystem The "New Wizard - Local Directory" dialog opens by viewing the "My Documents" folder. 3) Try to create a new folder in "My Documents" by clicking the new folder icon No new folder is created, nothing happens. If a subdirectory of "My Documents," which doesn't have a space in its name, is opened and the new folder icon is clicked then a new folder can be created.
Added SPACE_IN_PATH keyword More info... On my PC, the "My Documents" directory contains the directories, "My eBooks" and "My Pictures." A new folder can be created in "My eBooks" but not "My Pictures." So, it appears that if the 2nd word of the directory name begins with a capital letter than a new directory cannot be created.
I didn't try it myself, but from what you described I understand that you are trying to create a new folder in the JFileChooser component. That component comes from Swing, we just use it. If it fails to create a new folder, then please file bug against JDK. We cannot fix it from outside Swing.
