Re: [sapphire-dev] File filter: more on file browsing support

[Konstantin Komissarchik <konstantin.komissarchik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't try to do anything during browsing for this. Just filter for XML files and then add further rules during validation phase. Filtering rules that are too complex are difficult for users to understand, which leads to frustration. It is often better to let the user see a file, select it and then get a chance to explain why that selection is not allowed with validation.

I have a new use case where I need to browse for xml files in certain directory. But I should only browse for certain xml files. In my case, only xml files with certain root elements are acceptable.

 

I wonder whether we should extend Sapphire file browsing mechanism to support a new annotaion @FileFilter to take a SapphireCondition? Or should I write a custom browse action?

 

Thanks,
