The new file dialogs completely lost their primary goals and become unusable. They don't follow at least windows style for opening files and opening of files are painful experience. There should be at least some kind of approach how to simply access disc drives on Windows. See attached screenshots for details.
Created attachment 53361 [details] Open dialong in plugins. Completely lost ...
Created attachment 53362 [details] Open Project. Where are my other drives?
reassigning to openide for evaluation, ok?
What Java version etc? Can you reproduce always? Is it regression? I didn't have any problems with accessing all drives on my Windows as far as I remember... Second, you are probably missing "right side windows icon bar'. We had to disable it due to JDK performance bug which we can't workaround.
What I want is direct access to discs. I have my projects on different disc and when I use open dialog I see Desktop and nothing more. So I have to use "Up directory" button to get to my computer then doubleclick on my computer to get list of discs and then I could finally select proper directory. In previous version I was able using ComboBox directly select disc. Is it possible to start NetBeans with some command line parameter to have the same open dialog as in previous < 6.0 version of NetBeans?

Understood, removing "INCOMPLETE" keyword. Yes, cmd line param to run netbeans with awful plain swing file chooser is "-J-Dstandard-file-chooser=true"
moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev

There is escalation from the customer for this issue: bugster CR 6797031. Increasing priority of this issue to P2. The problem is connected with workaround used to fix Issue 109703. When the workaround is commented out, the open dialog works fine.
