Re: How to display the "favorites bar" for a file chooser in a platform application?

No change for me. I guess I somehow need to define the NetBeans favorites to make that panel appear.

But my application has not UI for setting favorites, and I hoped that it would be possible to manage
them through the panel in the file chooser.
