JFileChooser - sequential files treatment

[althair]

Hi,

I want to write an application where:

1. In JFileChooser - select multiple files
2. After clicking "Approve" button proper dialog window appears.
3. In dialog I enter parameters for first selected file and click OK.
4. File is processed in a background (it is transformed.
4. Window from point 3 appears again and actions 3 and 4 are repeated for the second, the third, fourth etc time- for each file selected previously in 1.

My application works fine for single file but I would like to implement"sequencing" files treatment. Can anybody help me to do it?

The proposed user interface design would not be one I would like to use.
It is like having to choose all the nouns before writing a short story.
You should consider alternatives.
One possibility would be to use JFileChooser's setAccessory() method
to add buttons to the window. These buttons could be deisgned to
choose among the operations that are applied to files.
Then there would be only the one window with the file chooser;
the second window to choose an operation would be unneeded.

But let's suppose that you really want the design proposed.
Here's how:
First rearrange the main program so it is essentially:

final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(aComponent);
chooseAndStartAnAction(fc.getSelectedFile());

Now the new program is simply this:

final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(aComponent);
File [] targets = fc.getSelectedFile[COLOR="Red"][B]s[/B][/COLOR](); 
for (File f : targets)
         chooseAndStartAnAction(f);

Thanks a lot! It works great now. I have some issues with formatting float numbers in destination .csv file but I shall overcome them soon :).
