ImageJ in Windows 7

[Jason Bailey-2]

I didn't realize how often I do this until I installed Windows 7.

If I edit an image in ImageJ (version 1.43H21, Java 1.6.0_10) and save it,
there are problems unless I close ImageJ with the following:

1) if I try to rename an image (image is closed, with ImageJ still running),
I get an error message that "The action can't be completed because the file
is open in Java(TM) Platform SE binary".

2) if I try to insert the saved image into an Office 2007 document (so far
I've tested Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), I get the same error message.

Is this a Java problem, an ImageJ problem, a Windows 7 problem, or a user
problem? These problems did not happen under XP or Vista using Office 2007.

Thanks

Jason

Try the 1.43i9 daily build. It fixes a bug that caused the file stream  
used to write JPEGs to not be closed.

Hi,
I want to ask the user to set the threshold and then proceed by macro  
(see below).
However, the thresholds window is hidden behind the image.
SelectWindow("Threshold") didn't help.
Anyone who had this problem?

newImage("demo-1", "8-bit Ramp", 1400, 1200, 1);
run("Threshold...");
waitForUser("Please adjust threshold");
getThreshold(lower, upper);
showMessage("upper ="+ upper);

I know this is not the best one but its still one of the available solutions.......
