    <p>I'm working on a swing app that will allow users to view sets of (mostly locally-stored) files. I'm able to store lists of files (among other preferences) as text in Properties files but when I try to pull file values back out, using</p> <p><code>myProperties.getProperty("File")</code></p> <p>it discards <em>some</em> of the '\'s that are in the text. I confirmed that writing to the Properties files like this:</p> <p><code>myPrintWriter.println("File = " + myFile.toString().replaceAll("\\\\", "/"))</code></p> <p>or this:</p> <p><code>myPrintWriter.println("File = " + myFile.toString().replaceAll("\\\\", "\\\\\\\\"))</code></p> <p>would allow <code>getProperty()</code> to work more like I expected but I didn't like having to convert my data to a Java-specific format without an explanation in the API so I decided to write it up on Stack Overflow.</p> <hr> <p>But when I got to this point in my post started feeling embarrassed; I was about to post on Stack Overflow without even consulting the Java source code for <code>java.util.Properties</code> (distributed with the JDK). I found that the Javadoc comments for <code>Properties.load()</code> indicate this was a design decision which, for example, allows Properties values to contain line breaks. I guess I'll look into writing my Properties files in XML if I find that I need that language-independence.</p> <hr> <p>Epilogue: So this is my first post on Stack Overflow and I've answered my own question but I've decided to post it anyhow in the hopes some person (or, perhaps, some artificial natural-language-processing-intelligence) may find it useful (or illuminating). Also, I'm curious as to any ideas or suggestions people might post in reply. TL;DR? Thanks for reading!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
