Set Updates Folder: JTree doesn't highlight current folder

Keith Bornhorst — Sun, 23 Mar 2003 03:57:23 -0000

The QueryDescriptorDialog (displays and modifies the
Automatic-Update Settings) opens up a BQFileChooser
that allows you to specify/change the Updates Folder.
The disabled text field contains the currently specified
save folder and the JTree below does as well, however
the currently specified save folder is not automatically
highlighted in the tree view so the root directory is
always assumed when the "Set Updates Folder" button is
pressed without highlighting a folder in the tree view.

To duplicate:

- create a new query

- click the Adjust Search Settings dropdown button so
the additional settings are visible

- click the Automate Search button

- Select the "Auto-Submit is: ON" radio button

- Select the "Save to my account" checkbox

- Push the Change button next to the "Folder to save to"
text field

- Within the new "Set Updates Folder" dialog box that
pops up, choose a sub-folder (create a new folder if you
have to as) - just as long as you choose a folder beside
the root one (your username)

- Click the "Set Updates Folder" button at the bottom

- Notice the new folder selection

- Click the "Change" button again

- The "Set Updates Folder" dialog should reappear with
the correct folder path in the text field, but the JTree
folder display below will have nothing selected by default.
Pressing the "Set UPdates Folder" now will result in the
root directory being specified.

Automatic update settings: bad save directory

This is related to bug:
[ 705336 ] Bad display of
directory path in GUI

When a user chooses to
have their query submitted automatically and the
results saved to the server, the program does not
always store the directory to save to
correctly.

To produce the bug:
Create a
new query.
Open the 'Adjust Search Settings' box
(with the arrow button in the middle of the GUI).

Press the 'Automate Search' button, which brings
up the 'Automatic Update Settings' dialog box.
Turn
Auto-submit to 'On'
At the bottom click 'Save to my
account'
Click 'OK' and save the
query.

Because you saved the query without
specifying where the results should be saved, they
should go into your username directory by default:
/username/

However, this default behavior is
never saved into the Query.QueryDescriptor object,
so it is never saved into the file. The results are thus
saved to the wrong location.

The solution is to
tell QueryDescriptorDialog to set the directory to the
default value of their username before saving the
query.

Bad display of directory path in GUI

James Brundege — Tue, 18 Mar 2003 00:34:58 -0000

The program displays a file path incorrectly in one of the
dialogs. The problem is only in the display. To get to the
bug:

Open a query in the program. Open the
'Adjust Search Settings' box (with the arrow button in
the middle of the GUI). Press the 'Automate Search'
button, which brings up the 'Automatic Update
Settings' dialog box. At the bottom, if you check the
'Save to my account' checkbox and press the 'Change'
button, you can change the directory (on the server)
that the results are saved to.

Set this feature,
resave the query, and close the dialog box. Now re-
open the box and you'll see that the username has been
appended to the directory path twice. That is, if you
orginally told the program to save your results
here:
/username/queryresults/

after
saving and reopening it will display the path as
this:
/username/username/queryresults/

The
second username is prepended for some reason. It
still functions right, just displays wrong. Probably a
very simple fix once the exact spot in the code where
the problem occurs is identified.
