Research direction

Start with JFileChooserFixture.selectFile(), the only entry point named in the issue, and inspect how directory selection is currently described or handled. The issue does not name a file or test and does not establish whether the desired outcome is usage guidance or a new capability, so clarify that scope before defining done.

Description

OS X

It seems as if JFileChooserFixture.selectFile() is only able to select files but no directories. How can I choose a directory with a FileChooser?

Many thanks in advance, Angelo
