I have a method (drawImages) that draws an arraylist of bufferedimages to the extended JPanel. However, it is only being called in the paintComponent method when another method (drawPerfectRect) is called.
This method (drawPerfectRect) is responsible for using co-ordinates passed to it to draw a rectangle using points clicked on by the user.
Essentially, the two problems I am having are:
It seems that the bufferedimages are only painted when the rectangles are painted.

Improve the action listener added to the selectDirectory button, as follows:
repaint() call inside the action listener (will fix it later on). thumbnailList.clear() inside the action listener. This way, only the last imported images will be displayed for each directory selection. repaint() inside the button's action listener after the for loop which adds the thumbnails in the list. This way, the panel will be repainted (with the new images) after the images are actually loaded into the list.As a result, the ImportWorkspace constructor can be written as follows:
public ImportWorkspace(){
x = y = x2 = y2 = 0;
setLayout(null);
setBackground(Color.decode("#2a2e37"));
setBounds(85, 0, screenSize.width-85, screenSize.height);
//System.out.println("W: " + super.getWidth() + ", H: " + super.getHeight());
ContentPanelWidth = getWidth();
System.out.println(ContentPanelWidth);
JLabel dataIcon = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(new ImageIcon ("folder.png").getImage().getScaledInstance(256,256, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT)));
dataIcon.setBounds((getWidth()/2)-128, (getHeight()/2)-200, 256, 256);
add(dataIcon);
JLabel askImport = new JLabel("No Data Files have been selected: To begin importing data please select a directory.");
askImport.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 20));
askImport.setForeground(Color.white);
askImport.setBounds((getWidth()/2)-375, (getHeight()/2)+50, 750, 100);
add(askImport);
JButton selectDirectory = new JButton("Select Directory");
selectDirectory.setBounds((getWidth()/2)-75, (getHeight()/2)+150, 150, 50); //+half of width or height
add(selectDirectory);
selectDirectory.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
removeAll();
revalidate();
//repaint(); //Removed this line. It is not necessary in this place. Will be re-added AFTER the `for` loop below...
thumbnailList.clear(); //Added this line.
setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
ImportingImages getImages = new ImportingImages();
getImages.importFiles();
