Thread: JChooser save ---> Works but Can't see the saved image in the folder

Hello,

I have written a code to upload an Image Icon to Jlabel by JChooser and save Image Icon. "Both of them work".

But when I save the Image to given location I cannot see it after. Can you please help me to find the mistake?

JButton OpenIcon = new JButton("Open New map");
		OpenIcon.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
				JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
				chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
				int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
 
				if(returnVal ==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
					File file =chooser.getSelectedFile();
					Fpath = file.getPath();
					ImageIcon Sicon = new ImageIcon(Fpath);
					pic.setIcon(Sicon);
					pic.repaint();
 
				}
 
			}
		});
 
 
 
		JButton Save = new JButton("Save New Map");
 
		Save.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				try{
					Sicon = (ImageIcon) pic.getIcon();
					bi = new BufferedImage(Sicon.getIconHeight(),
							   Sicon.getIconWidth(),
							   BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
					Graphics g = bi.createGraphics();
					fill = new File("outputFile");
				JFileChooser chooserS = new JFileChooser();
				chooserS.addChoosableFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
				chooserS.setSelectedFile(fill);
 
 
				int returnVal = chooserS.showSaveDialog(null);
				if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
 
						ImageIO.write(bi, "JPG", fill);
						File filr =chooserS.getSelectedFile();
						System.out.println("Save as file: " + filr.getAbsolutePath());
 
				}else{
					System.out.println("Saving was cancelled by user.");
					}						
				}catch(IOException io){
					io.printStackTrace();
				}

I load the Image by browse JChooser, it loads and it's there. Then I want to save the Image which I just loaded. I have converted the Image Icon into BufferedImage so I can save it.

When it's saved I get messaged that the Image was saved into some folder. But when I open the given folder it's not there. Can you please help me to find why it's not working?

In the save button's event handler you create a new (empty) BufferedImage, bi. And you create a graphics context, g, based on that image. But, unless I'm missing something, you don't actually use that graphics to draw anything into your image.

Also ImageIcon has a getImage() method that might, more easily get at the image you want to save.

This doesn't actually address your problem! "But when I open the given folder it's not there." Print the actual file you use as the destination:

ImageIO.write(bi, "JPG", fill);
System.out.println("written to " + fill.getAbsolutePath());
File filr =chooserS.getSelectedFile();
// etc

Also try printing the results of exists() on fill. (And check the console for any IOException!)

Cool thx ur post actually helped me. I found that little hidden mistake;

Thx

It was in : File filr =chooserS.getSelectedFile();
ImageIO.write(bi, "JPG", filr);
System.out.println("Save as file: " + filr.getAbsolutePath());


I had to use different File
