Let the user choose a file ?

[lechristophe]

Is there a macro function that prompt the user to choose a file and
returns its path ?

The open() command can prompt the file chooser, but will open it, and I
don't want to open the file, just to get its path from the file chooser
dialog.

The File.openDialog() method, in ImageJ 1.39d and later, does this.
Here is an example:

     path = File.openDialog("Choose a File");
     print("path:", path);
     print("name:", File.getName(path));
     print("directory:", File.getParent(path));
