Hi Jon,

Unfortunately I don't think there are any nice workarounds. There was
discussion last year about reusing the classic ImageJ save as dialog[1] but
it looks like the work wasn't finished. I also filed an issue suggesting a
short-term workaround[2].

If you want a solution right away, you can create a symlink to the plugins
directory[3]. For example, if you open up a terminal, go to your home
directory, and use "ln -s /Applications/Fiji.app/plugins myplugins" you can
save things into your /Users/yourname/myplugins/. But you still will have
the ugly JFileChooser that defaults to the App directory.

Best,
Mark
