Ok with this unfortunately what happens is the actual file is treated as a 
directory and it appears in the dropdown bar at the top.  So if I pass 
~/Downloads/test.pdf for setDirectoryURL: it thinks test.pdf is a directory and 
wants me to choose a file from the test.pdf directory.  Any other ideas? :-)
