When opening or saving a file via Java, I want to present a file dialog that displays a desired directory that the user most probably will choose as destination.
However, I don't know how to influence the OS - it usually makes its own decisions and presents a completely different "default folder".
(On the Mac, I couldn't solve this problem since many years) - Any ideas?
