If I want a directory as a parameter, e.g. in a python script, I have to use:

# @File(label = "Output directory", style = "directory") dstDir

I couldn't find a way to get FileWidget.DIRECTORY_STYLE to work, which seems unfortunate - and even that is quite verbose.

Anyway, with style = "directory" I get an ugly JFileChooser on mac, despite https://github.com/imagej/imagej-ui-swing/pull/19

AFAIK, there is no native directory chooser. It is a JFileChooser-specific feature.

ah.. I just noticed that it wasn't as eye-pleasing as IJ.getDirectory

Hmm, I wonder why I didn't use IJ.getDirectory! I vaguely recall there was some reason...
