Description Christophe Leterrier 2009-06-29 12:46:53 CDT 
If I use the macro function getDirectory("startup") with plain ImageJ, it will return the folder where ImageJ is installed. If I do the same with Fiji, the output is just "//" (that's two slashes). I would expect the output to be "/Applications/Fiji.app/" (I'm on a Mac), since the getDirectory("plugins") function returns "/Applications/Fiji.app/plugins" which is correct.

This behaviour has been changed according to Christophe's expectations in commit:
