[Bug] jadx open file diaglog input dir path error

[sornian]

click menu->file->open(ctrl+o)
then i input the dir path ,the dialog is closed instead of get intothis dir
This problem has bothered me for a long time

I also noticed this behavior. It is caused as the dialog allows to select (multiple) files or a whole directory:

jadx/jadx-gui/src/main/java/jadx/gui/ui/MainWindow.java

Line 334 in 1c2b2c0

fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);

By changing fileSelectionMode to JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY it would be possible enter a directory by keyboard so the dialog would change into the specified directory instead of closing. But this would also mean users would no longer be able to select a directory of files.

Well, I agree this behavior can be unexpected and sometimes really annoying (accidentally loading a directory with a lot of files can hang up jadx 😢)
Options are:

1. Just use drag and drop into jadx-gui files pane 🤣
2. Add separate buttons/actions for files and directories
3. Ask confirmation on directory open (override approveSelection() method in JFileChooser)
4. Custom file open dialog with separate buttons for files and directories

I like third option, I will check it and also try option 4 with just replacing buttons.

Ok, I commit a fix with confirmation on directory loading, hope it will help.
@sornian please check latest unstable build.
