I just checked the Modeler code and it is using Swing's JFileChooser
instead of AWT's FileDialog. On OS X, the AWT FileDialog is the
"proper" file dialog to use (it is the one Apple mapped to the native
file dialog). We'd have to change the code to conditionally open
JFileChooser/FileDialog depending on the platform. I've actually got
some code that already does that (different project), so maybe it
could be added. The FileDialog also remembers the size of the open
window, the directory you were last in, etc. Just like you'd expect
it to operate on a Mac.
