Ctrl+j and ImageJ freezes

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all (probably Wayne),

First of all I would like a happy new year to everybody I haven’t done it
already.

So I just went through the new ImageJ features coming out on 1.52j 29
December 2018 and the addition of the "Plugins>Macros>Interactive
Interpreter" seems a quite cool feature.

I think I will especially like the "ctrl+shift+F - open Function Finder"
feature.

Very unfortunately, I’m quite a keyboard freak and thus I have tried the
shortcut "j" which should as well launch the "Plugins>Macros>Interactive
Interpreter" command.

So on my version of ImageJ, I didn’t activate the "Require control key for
shortcuts" in "Edit>Options>Misc…" and the shortcut "j" is actually
launching the "Save as JPEG" feature.

Nevertheless I’m able to launch the the "Plugins>Macros>Interactive
Interpreter" command with "Ctrl + j" shortcut but then ImageJ gets frozen.

And it is then not possible to write anything in the the
"Plugins>Macros>Interactive Interpreter" command window but still possible
to play with the menu features but nothing happens (even by doing
"File>Quit").

The only way I found to close ImageJ after using the with "Ctrl + j"
shortcut is then to kill the process through the task manager (I’m under
Windows 7).

I Thank you very luch in advance for your help on this.

My best regards,

Philippe

The "Save as JPEG…” command is an example macro in the StartupMacros file. You can free up the “j” shortcut by using the Plugins>Macros>Startup Macros command to open StartupMacros.txt, deleting or modifying the "Save as JPEG…” macro and then saving the updated file.

This bug is fixed in the latest ImageJ daily build (1.52k23).
