Hi,
one of my pet peeves about the file chooser is that going throw its UI is
normally slow, click click click,
and if a directory has a lots of sub-directories, it takes time to list
contents and then lots of scrolling or
browser search tool to find the right entry.
I would love to just auto-complete in the path text editor instead... and
so here is a new pull
request:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/2702
The code auto-completes from the data dir or absolute paths (takes into
account all available roots),
makes partial and case insensitive matches so that one can just quickly
search for the bit she remembers,
and considers eventual file extensions configured in the editor.
Examples from home directory:
[image: Inline image 1]
and relative path in the data directory instead:
[image: Inline image 2]
The code has been harder to write than expected, and so far it's tested
only on Linux,
not sure how it's going to behave on other platforms, coders helping
onother OSs would
be more than welcomed! (I want to give it a try on Windows, but the sucker
it's just installing
updates and telling me "the PC will be rebooted multiple times" since an
hour ago...).
In any case, I've guarded auto-complete against exceptions, so if it fails,
it should simply
return an empty set of completions and log the error.
Cheers
Andrea
