Command finder: inconsistent behavior

[Miso Mitkovski]

Dear colleagues,

(My system is: Fiji/ImageJ 1.47i; Java 1.6.0_24 [64-bit] with todays update applied.)
When launching a command via the "Command Finder" it is not always possible to execute the (with arrow-key) selected command. An example for this could be:

-Press "L"
-Type "blob"
-Use arrow keys to select "Blobs (25K)"
-Press the enter key

The above does not execute the command; i.e. the command finder is not closed ("close window after running command" is checked) and "Blobs.gif" is not loaded. However, the following works:

-Press "L"
-User the arrow keys to scroll down to "Blobs (25K)"
-Press the enter key

I would be grateful for feedback regarding this really useful tool.
Many greetings,
-Mišo.

Not sure Miso.  I just tried both methods 7-8 times and they both work fine
with several different commands and I have the same software setup as you.
(though I use Windows Vista 64, not sure of your O/S.)  Did you notice a
pattern of perhaps only one particular command not working?

I noticed the same, but only on Linux. It appears to me that it should be
something as simple as adding a KeyListener to the search field. I had
actually spent a considerable amount of time to make this work nicely in
ImageJ2, so I could look into this. Wayne?

Ciao,
Johannes

This bug is fixed in the ImageJ 1.47j daily build. You can upgrade by using the Help>Update ImageJ command and selecting "daily build" from the drop down menu.

You can also open the blobs sample image with one less step using:

  -Press "L"
  -Type "blob"
  -Press enter

if only one command is listed. Or, since the File>Open Samples>Blobs (25K) command has a keyboard shortcut, you can use:

   -Type shift-b
