FXFileChooser 0.0.7

What's Changed

Bug fixes

• When using the net.raumzeitfalle.fx.filechooser.FXFileChooserDialog version, a double click on a file inside the dialog will cause the file to be selected. With oder versions the dialog was just closed and no file was returned. Thanks to @ArchibaldBienetre for pointing this out and testing!

New functions

• When typing a fully qualified directory name in the filter criterion TextField, with pressing [RETURN] the file chooser will change the directory without using the Directory Chooser.
• When e.g. pasting a fully qualified path name pointing to a file from clipboard, by pressing [RETURN] the file chooser will switch to the directory where the file is supposed to exist, if the file exists, it will select the file. Pressing [RETURN] again will accept the file and close the file chooser.
• The net.raumzeitfalle.fx.filechooser.SwingFileChooser no longer uses the system directory chooser but the net.raumzeitfalle.fx.dirchooser.DirectoryChooserView instead. Its also defined in FXML and its no longer a separate dialog, its a 2nd scene where the view changes to when requested. This DirectoryChooser uses a TreeView and scans only the first level of directories. For crowded directories a progress indicator is added to show the scanning activity. The scanned tree is kept in memory until one switches to another directory. This is quite experimental.

Many thanks to @ArchibaldBienetre for testing this with Java-18 and JavaFX18 - very cool that it still works on the modern runtime.
