If this works fine for you, then maybe you can help me out.

I'm adapting someone else's code. One thing we wish to change
is that only files with a certain extension are shown when
using the FileDialog window.

To deal with this, I made a class myFilternameFilter that implements
FilenameFilter, created a method accept() for the filtering, and used
fileDialog.setFilenameFilter(myFilternameFilter) to set the filter,
just before the call to fileDialog.setVisible (true);

And then what? This doesn't do anything. All files and directories are
shown in the dialog, instead of the ones that accept() accepts. Using the
debugger I find that the accept() method isn't executed.

How is this accept() method to be used? Should I call it? If so, where/when
should I do that?

I guess this is something trivial, but I don't seem to get it (yet). The
docs don't seem to help me very much. What am I overlooking?

Richard.
