Getting file info from ImagePlus objects

[simon andrews (BI)]

In a plugin I'm writing I'm trying to extract the full path to the  
original image which is being processed.  The images are TIFF stacks.

I've tried a few different methods, the most promising of which seemed  
to be getFileInfo - but when I call this the object which is returned  
has no value in its directory field, and a file name of Untitled.

The only place I've found any file information was in the getTitle()  
method of ImagePlus which gets me the window title (which happens to  
be the file name), but this doesn't get me the directory the image  
came from and the pwd doesn't match this either.

How can I get this information?

Thanks

Simon.

Hi Simon,

what about getOriginalFileInfo? Thsi should work!?

There is some entry in the archive that any problem with stacks was fixed
already in version 1.37c

(Thanx for asking this, up till now, I was not aware of these methods!)


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Excellent - that did the trick.  Don't know how I missed that when  
going through the API

Thanks!

Simon.

getDirectory("image") - Returns the path to the directory that the active image was loaded from. (quote from ImageJ site).
Then using getTitle function gets the actual title of your image.

Thus you can write:

path = getDirectory("image")+getTitle();
