Handling directories as extra filetypes?

Dear ImageJ Community,

I am implementing a reader for a special file format. The relevant files (data and metadata) for a single image are spread in a somewhat complex directory structure, however with one parent folder. For convenience, I'd like to offer the option of simply dragging the parent folder onto ImageJ and then make the plugin do the rest. The event of a dragged and dropped folder, however, does not to enter the HandleExtraFileTypes plugin, but seems to be intercepted before. Any suggestions how to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Daniel
