Action Bar

[gankaku]

Hi all,

After extending Fiji with several action bars, I figures out, that some functions called via the action bar behave different compared to a call of the same command from the menu.

1.) pressing the cancel button in the called function window (e.g. a median image filter) results in the display of an "exception" message as follows. Can this be avoided somehow?

        java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
        at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor8.invoke(Unknown Source)
        at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)

        at ij.IJ.runPlugIn(IJ.java:159)
        ... 16 more

2.) whenever the preview was activated, the cancel button does not revert the applied function (the median filter remains applied to the image. This is generally not a big deal, because you could use the undo function. But for some un-doable functions it implies starting from the beginning. Is there a possibility to include a specific line of code to circumvent this issue i.e. make the function working as if called from the menu?

Thanks in advance for any answers and I wish you a merry x-mas and a good start in the new year.
cheers,
Jan

Hi Jan,

which version of ImageJ are you using?
There was a bug until 1.47a causing problems with preview, it should be fixed in the current version (Help>Update ImageJ). If the problem persists with the current version, let me know, please.

I can't say anything about the ActionBar problem. In your action_bar configuration file, what does the section calling the command look like?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the fast reply!

I have the newest version of Fiji, so ImageJ 1.47g (not the current daily built).
The section in the action bar file calling the command is for example:

<button>
label=Median
bgcolor=#dadada
icon=noicon
arg=<macro>
run("Median...");
</macro>

if this is the part you were referring to (?)

So, all the buttons principally only execute a normal macro command (i.e. run("........"); ). That should actually have the same effect as running the command in a normal macro or clicking the menu command, isn't it?
