Desirable "compile and run" change

[David Webster]

All,

I would like to suggest a change to the way that
"compile and run" works. It would make more sense
to me to have "compile and run" apply specifically
to the code that has been opened by the plugin command
or the editor. This as opposed to running what ever is
installed in the pluginslist regardless of what may have
been compiled. Thisseems to be more in keeping with what
one would intend to happen when opening a file.

P.S. The plugins menu command does not have an edit option as
is implied by the documentation, one must go to the macros option.

Do you mean the "File>Compile and Run" in the editor window?

Sorry I do not understand what you meant above.

Yes, that is the option to open a Plugin. It says "Open Macro or Plugin" in
the dialog title bar.
Or you can drag and drop the file on the IJ window.

There was a bug in Fiji which made it display the behavior you describe,
but that was fixed in the Dresden-2009 version.

So maybe you want to be a bit more specific about what scenario you are
talking about.  Maybe you are editing a file outside of the plugins/
folder?
