Consider application bundles to be directories when browsing

This option is available only on the Mac OS X platform. When checked the file browser dialog allows browsing inside an application bundle as in a regular folder. When unchecked the file browser dialog does not allow browsing inside an application bundle, as the Finder application does on Mac OS X. The same effect can be obtained by setting the property apple.awt.use-file-dialog-packages to true or false in the Info.plist descriptor file of the <oXygen/> application by adding two lines in this descriptor file:

<key>apple.awt.use-file-dialog-packages</key>
<string>false</string>
