OpenDialog() not working under Windows XP

[Michael Ellis]

Whilst testing some plugins, I've found that the ImageJ OpenDialog() function seems to be broken on my PC Laptop running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3

The easiest way for me to reproduce this is with the single line macro:

File.openDialog("Hi");

Whereupon on the Windows machine, ImageJ just goes into a deep sleep and has to be force quit.

The same macro works fine on my MacBook Pro

Both My MacBookPro and the old Windows PC are up to date with Image v1.45a

Both are running the latest versions of (Java 1.6)

There is one setting in Edit>Options>Input Output that checks "Use
JFileChooser to open/save"

Try changing the status of the checked box to use the alternative file
chooser.
