Hi Wayne,
There is one reason to continue saving to the JFileChooser preference
on Mac OS X: Olympus OIB files, when selected, cause the native Mac OS
X file chooser to crash Java, due to a bug in the Preview function. As
a workaround, I have been suggesting that people turn on the "Use
JFileChooser to Open/Save" option. If ImageJ stops saving this option,
it will have to be toggled on every time to avoid the OIB bug.
