JFileChooser filters

by

I am putting a JFileChooser in my program, but that only takes images.

For a list of types supported by that JRE on that OS, use ImageIO.

FileFilter imageFilter = new FileNameExtensionFilter(
    "Image files", ImageIO.getReaderFileSuffixes());

Types seen – Java 1.6/Windows 7

bmp
jpg
jpeg
wbmp
png
gif

Note: don’t hard-code that list! It might change from version to version, and OS to OS. E.G.

  1. I am not surprised that Windows has support to load BMP, but does that come up in a Mac?
  2. Seeing WBMP alerted me to the existence of such a format!

That list would have many more formats if jai was installed.

Filter as it appears in a chooser
