It's not a bug, it's a feature. With 'getDirectory(string)', the user is
asked to choose a directory, so there's no sense in displaying normal
files. If you want a normal file chooser displaying everything (files
and folders), use 'File.openDialog(title)'.

For instance, the example below won't show the files (only folders) in the dialog window. This is happening on two different versions of imageJ and two different computers. Not sure what the problems is ... settings? Help appreciated!!
