Cannot navigate to subdirectory on MacOS

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 4 comments

I am using the latest version of PDV on MacOS, and there seems to be a problem with the file selection dialog box. When I want to open a file, the dialog box starts from my home directory, but I am unable to descend into any subdirectories. I was forced to move the MGF file into my home directory in order to open it, but this seems like less-than-desirable behavior. :)

Hi Bill, this might be a java version issue. Could you tell me which version of java you're using?

% java --version
java --version
openjdk 11.0.15 2022-04-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.15+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.15+10, mixed mode)

It should work. How does the dialog box look like when it starts from your home directory?

For me, it looks like below and I can then go to any folder by double clicking the folder.

Yes, that's what I saw. When I tried it before, I got that screen, but no amount of double (or triple) clicking would let me enter any subdirectories. However, now I can't reproduce the problem, so I will close this issue. If it recurs, I will let you know.
