public class ImageFileView

extends FileView

This class implements a file view for application's "load" and "save" dialogs. It connects gif, jpg and png files. Please note that png is the preferred file format for saving images, as gif is only 8bit color depth and jpg is lossy.

This class was mostly stolen from Sun's documentation: FileChooser Demo (whoops... does this hurt GPL?!)
