Description Ann Sunhachawee 2000-07-28 20:20:36 UTC 
Currently, when you launch the Directory file chooser dialog from "Add
Directory..." off of the Explorer pop up menu or from "Add Filesystem|Add Local
Directory" dialog from File menu, a dialog appears that has the text fields:
"File name"
"Files of Type"

Since this dialog only allows you to enter directories, this is very misleading.
Label should be "Directory", and I can't think of a reason why we need "files of
Type" drop down list for this dialog.
Comment 1 Rostislav Levy 2000-08-14 13:29:59 UTC 
Mount action uses a JFileChooser class. It's a standard swing component.
In my opinion, the JFileChooser component doesn't have functions to modify
labels.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
