Use Path.NativePathToFileMakerPath to convert to a FileMaker path if you plan to use "filemac:" for an insert file script step.
Does not work with FileMaker 8.5, 9 or 10. Works with FileMaker 11 and 12.
Added support for Windows with version 10.4, but doesn't work for FileMaker's own dialogs.

Release notes
- Version 10.4
- Added FileDialogWatcher.GetLastPath and FileDialogWatcher.Install for Windows in addition for macOS, but doesn't work as FileMaker uses older APIs.
