Fiji updates
Locked
 
|
I have an administrative question that has been puzzling me for a while. Most of the time when I launch Fiji, (on a PC) there are a lot of updates to instal. What are these updates? Are they for the operating system or for Java or do they include the latest versions of plugins?
In other words, will the menus change after updates (as in "where is that plugin that used to be here") and what would happen if I don't agree to the updates. Thank you, Judy Judy Trogadis Bio-Imaging Coordinator Keenan Research Centre, St. Michael's Hospital 209 Victoria Street Toronto M5B 1T8, Canada office: 416-864-6060 ext. 77612 imaging facility: ext. 77434 cell: 416-254-9330 [hidden email]<mailto:[hidden email]> -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |

Hi Judy,
> What are these updates? Are they for the operating system or for Java > or do they include the latest versions of plugins? They are the latest versions of plugins and libraries. They might add new features, and fix (or introduce) bugs. > In other words, will the menus change after updates (as in "where is > that plugin that used to be here") In general, we try very hard to avoid commands moving around or disappearing. An exception to that is the recent update of Bio-Formats to version 5.0.0: those commands moved from Plugins > LOCI to Plugins > Bio-Formats. But you can still find them using the Command Launcher (press L; the very first feature of ImageJ you should memorize IMO), and old macros that call those commands should still work. > what would happen if I don't agree to the updates Nothing. You can tell Fiji to never bother you again about updates being available, and after that, your Fiji will stay the same until you run Help > Update Fiji by hand. But if you do that, you will not receive bug-fixes until you ask for them.

I'd like to mention one thing that I've already witnessed several times (even though it is not necessarily applicable to this question): people misinterpret the initial "checksumming" of the updater as the actual installing of "tons" of updates. Maybe it could be rephrased in the window title to be more clear that this is about checking for new updates? Cheers Niko -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |

Thank you, Curtis, I guess that answers my question.
