The latest ImageJ daily build (1.48t12) fixes a bug the caused the File.directory macro function to not work as expected after calling the open(path) macro function. Using the daily build, this test macro

  path = "/Users/wayne/Pictures/Sandhills.jpg";
  open(path);
  print("path: "+path);
  print ("dir: "+File.directory ());
  print ("name: "+File.name ());

outputs

  path: /Users/wayne/Pictures/Sandhills.jpg
  dir: /Users/wayne/Pictures/
  name: Sandhills.jpg

With earlier versions of ImageJ, it outputs

  path: /Users/wayne/Pictures/Sandhills.jpg
  dir:
  name: Sandhills.jpg
