Accessing LUTs folder on Mac OSX

[Colin Rickman-3]

Hi

I'm trying to access the LUTs folder through Image>Color>Edit Lut>Open but cannot gain access to the folder. The LUT folder is visible right clicking on the FIJI icon in applications and selecting Show Package Contents but this is not possible from within the Open Lut dialog box. The same problem exists for the plugins folder. I don't want to move them in case that stops the built in updater.

How do people get around this?

Thanks

Colin

This macro might help:

-- snip --
call('ij.io.OpenDialog.setDefaultDirectory', getDirectory('luts'));
run('LUT...');
-- snap --

Just hit '{' in Fiji to open the Script Editor, paste the macro, select
Language>ImageJ Macro and then Run>Run it.

Ciao,

Hi,

My suggestion is to create aliases for the folders that are inside Fiji and
place them next to the Fiji.app in a "Fiji" folder, to get something similar
to ImageJ. You can do that by opening the package and drag/drop the folders
while pressing the cmd + alt keys. Then you can use these aliases in the
open dialogs.

Only if you use tricks requiring the use of Java.
