file system browser doesn't show directory contents
Submitted by nex on Wednesday, 14 September, 2005 - 21:05
when i installed the latest version of jEdit on my mac OS X system, everything worked as expected for several editing sessions, but today the file system browser stopped working, even though i hadn't changed anything that could conceivably affect jEdit. i can 'open' a directory by entering its path or selecting one of my favourites, and the directory entry itself and its parent directories are displayed as expected, but every directory i try appears empty; even if it contains a file that is currently open in the editor.

has anyone already had this problem, or an idea what it could be?

Check arrows in file system browser

Hello,
I'd the same problem, please check this:
If you examine the bottom border of your file system browser, you may notice two small arrows. Try to click on the left (up) arrow, this should recover the familiar view...

Hope this will help!
Best regards,
Andre

Try to run jEdit with the -nosettings commandline-switch and see if it works then.
If so, then you know it is a settings problem and you can track down which setting disturbs in particular and eventually submit a bug-report at SourceForge.
