Getting file info from ImagePlus objects

In a plugin I'm writing I'm trying to extract the full path to the  
original image which is being processed.  The images are TIFF stacks.

I've tried a few different methods, the most promising of which seemed  
to be getFileInfo - but when I call this the object which is returned  
has no value in its directory field, and a file name of Untitled.

The only place I've found any file information was in the getTitle()  
method of ImagePlus which gets me the window title (which happens to  
be the file name), but this doesn't get me the directory the image  
came from and the pwd doesn't match this either.

How can I get this information?

Thanks

Simon.
