Hello,

It appears that the method IJ.getDirectory() returns "extra" path  
divider to the result on Windows but not on MacOSX.   Below is a  
simple plugin that shows the difference, and results from runs on  
Windows and MacOSX. I don't know Windows well enough to know if this  
is really a feature instead of a bug.  In the news log there is a  
reference to macro command getDirectory() ...

 > v1.34l, 15 April 2005
 > Fixed a bug in the getDirectory() macro function that resulted in  
double back slashes with root directories on Windows


Thanks!
Ben
