Class SystemTableSaveDialog

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    TableSaveDialog

    public class SystemTableSaveDialog
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements TableSaveDialog
    Table save dialogue based on the native system file dialogue. This is a wrapper around FileDialog, which is in turn a thin wrapper around whatever the native platform uses for its default file browser. Looks ugly on my fvwm-based Linux desktop, but for Mac and MS users it may be much preferable to the java-coded alternatives.
