Is there a specific reason your application is sized to 100% of the user's screen? From what I understand you have the main application fill the whole screen but only a small portion (search box) is visible. If that is the case, start your main app minimized and remove it from the taskbar (visib

File.nativePath should only really be used for display (e.g. in a tooltip, etc..). Use File.url to actually load the file. event.currentTarget is preferred as event.target doesn't always refer to the component that the event was assigned to. Then you should also cast the selectedItem to the
