Restrict JavaFX filechooser to initial folder

I want to limit the JavaFX file selector to its initial directory

Is there any way to achieve this goal?

Solution

This may be an environment - based window. Until Java specifies a class (I don't think it does), you really can't do anything

However, you can always let the user select the directory and check the directory. If it does not conform to your standard, you can set the value to null and ask the user to enter it again

File f = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(primaryStage);
if(f.getAbsolutePath().matches("regex")){
     //Do Something
}

The regular expression here will be replaced with something similar

[.+]//yourPath
