I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.7. I just downloaded the update for  
ImageJ (1.37s) and then dropped loci_plugins.jar, bio-formats.jar,  
poi-loci.jar  and ome-java.jar into my ImageJ/plugins folder. When I  
select Bioformats Importer, I get a file open dialog. I currently  
don't have any applicable files on my machine to test the import.

HTH,

Phil
