Boolean and @parameter annotation in IJ1 macro

[Benoit Lombardot]

Dear IJ users,

I am using the awesome @parameter annotation in an IJ1 macro to create
simple interfaces and I observe a discrepancy between boolean created by
annotations (i.e. //@boolean var1) and those declared directly in the
script (var2 = true;). Below is a small macro illustrating what I mean.
I commented the behavior on my machine (Win7 pro, FIJI
2.0.0-rc-25/1.49p; Java 1.6.0_24 [64-bit] )

//@Boolean bool1

IJ.log("bool1 is "+bool1) // boolean declared in @parameter annotation
print as "true"
if (bool1){ IJ.log("in test 1 : bool1 is "+bool1)
}                                      // this test does not pass
if (startsWith(bool1,"true")){ IJ.log("in test 2 : bool1 is "+bool1)
}    // this test pass

bool2 = true;
IJ.log("bool2 is "+ bool2) // boolean declared in macro display as "1"
if (bool2){ IJ.log("in test 3: bool2 is "+bool2)
}                                     // this test pass
// end of the macro


Did I do something wrong? Or is this the expected behavior and I don't
get it?
In Any case thanks for your feedback.

Also I have a subsidiary questions about the annotations in macro if any
one has directions to point me at.
Is it possible to set some default value in the fields? I know it is
possible in Java but couldn't find how to do it in macro.
Is there a widget to create a drop-down menu with the name of open image
windows?

Thanks a lot
Best regards,

Benoit

Thanks for the report. This bug is now fixed [1].

We'll cut a release and upload to the ImageJ update site within the next
few days.

Regards,
Curtis
