Hi Alan, ImageJ does not support drag-and-drop of folders—they are always handled in a hardcoded way that cannot delegate to HandleExtraFileTypes. Some Fiji devs actually did some exploratory work recently to make it possible to support drag-and-dropping folders in Fiji (thanks to imagej-legacy's bytecode patching of ij), but it is not yet merged and released.

I may revisit it in April 2024 at an upcoming BigDataViewer/ImgLib2 hackathon, we'll see.
