Description (last modified by cblackburn)
Highlighting a folder and clicking + results in an error dialog (image attached) despite there being importable files in the folder. (Individual file import works okay)
Here's a relevant extract from the log:

- This is a ubuntu only problem.

I've been experimenting with the Importer GUI code and trying to see if thre is some known problem at the root of this. First of all I confirmed that getSelectedFiles() method of the file chooser returns an empty list when a folder (or folders) is selected.
The system look and feel on Unbuntu 9.10 is GTK. This Swing Doc suggests that GTK+ 2.2 or higher is needed. I think I have 2.0
This bug report, although old seems to hint at FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES being ignored as a setting with the GTK look and feel (I assume this is pre-2.2)
If I hack the code in FileQueueChooser? (and GuiImporter?)
+ String laf = UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName(); - String laf = UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName();
this results in the Metal look and feel being selected and then I can select folders without problem.
Obviously the Metal look and feel is completely different and would mess things up on other platforms.

Yeah Colin I was pretty sure it was an implementation error with the LAF library in Ubuntu. Will need to discuss the best alternative option (either disable this feature in your version of Ubuntu or try to code around it somehow).

- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from assigned to closed
Upgrading to GTKJ does not resolve this issue and my other attempt to hack around the problem doesn't work either. This seems unfixable for the version of GTK used by Ubuntu 9.10, but since its a minor annoyance its a livable issue. Closing.
