[josm-dev] Filename path in dialog

[Holger Mappt]

Hi,

I'm working on a photo property dialog.  In that dialog I want to 
display the full file path.  What is the best way to do that?  A long 
path should be handled in a reasonable way.  E.g. with dots in the path, 
wrapped into multiple lines, or something similar.  It would be perfect 
if it is possible to select the path to copy it to the clipboard.

So far I use an ExtendedDialog.  For the path I tried JLabel, JTextArea, 
and HtmlPanel.  But the problem is that the path is always shown in one 
line if ExtendedDialog's placeContentInScrollPane is true.  The dialog 
window is very wide if the path is long.  If the dialog width is reduced 
the scroll bars appear, but it would be better if the element with the 
path is scaled.  That scaling works to some extend if the scroll bars 
are disabled, placeContentInScrollPane=false, but it still starts with 
the full width.  Any other ideas?  Is there a good example?

Thanks,
Holger
