[API Review]: RT-28289 Unable to determine the selected ExtensionFilter when a FileChooser closes

[Alexander Zvegintsev]

Hi Richard,

Looks like discussion in JIRA almost stopped, so I see this API for 
FolderChooser as follows:

>       This property is used to pre-select extension filter for the next
>       displayed dialog and to get selected extension filter from 
> dismissed file
>       dialog.
>
>       When file dialog is invoked the extension filter stored in this 
> property
>       will be activated. If value of property is null or not presented in
>       extensionFilters list the first extension filter will be selected.
>
>       After file dialog is dismissed the value of property is updated to
>       selected extension filter or to null if the dialog has been 
> canceled.
>
>     public final ObjectProperty<ExtensionFilter> 
> selectedExtensionFilterProperty()
>
>     public final void setSelectedExtensionFilter(ExtensionFilter 
> extensionFilter)
>
>     public final ExtensionFilter getSelectedExtensionFilter()


Thanks,

Alexander.

Shouldn't that be supported? In which case, we need selectedExtensionFilterProperty to be writable and have a setSelectedExtensionFilter method as well?)
