ImageJ Macro Recorder and Generic Dialog

[jumpfunky]

Hi,

I'm developing a plugin including a generic dialog with parameter labels
which contain spaces. If you use the macro recorder, it recognizes only
the word up to the first space. This could lead to problems if the first
word is the same in both labels, e.g.:
"Area Min. Enclosing Rectangle"
"Area Max. Enclosing Rectangle"

The recorder will only record run("my plugin", "area=x area=y") and the
value x / y doesn't have any effect.

Maybe a bug?

Cheers,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

I guess not a bug. If you put underscores between the words you record the
complete parameter.
