J-File Explorer

Java-based File Explorer for project 3 - Directory Browser

Usage

Folders can be opened up and view by double-clicking in the directory overview to expand the folder or clicking once to show the contents within the folder.

If there are no items in the folder, the content pane will be empty.

Currently, the indexing of directory starts with the home folder. It will only go up to a depth of 2 and hidden files are not shown.

The 'New' button does not currently work.
