Listening on commands

[Filip Sedlak]

Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to access both the currently performed command
and its parameters. Something similar what Plugins > Macro > Record does
but from a plugin.

I'd like to do an analysis of the user's actions and I need to get the
performed operations without asking the user to e. g. copy-paste the
recorder output to an external app.

Using Executer.addCommandListener gives me only the command name and not
its parameters. I started playing with ij.plugin.frame.Recorder, trying
to patch it to support attaching listeners. The listeners would be
notified with similar information like what is added to the text area.

Can you see a simpler way to achieve this? Most importantly, it would be
great if I could avoid running a patched version of the application.

Thanks,
Filip

Dear Filip,
IJ 1.47o4 introduced a new Recorder constructor: new Recorder(boolean
visible).
So you can silently create a a Recorder with:
Recorder r = new Recorder(false);
and at any time, retrieve the recorded macro:
String recordedMacro = r.getText();
that will contain both commands and parameters.
Sincerely,

Jerome.

Hi Filip,

In ImageJ2 you can subscribe to ModuleExecutedEvent [1] and/or other
ModuleExecutionEvent [2] subclasses of interest. There is an events
tutorial which is relevant [3].

But for ImageJ1 commands you'll have to use a different approach such as
what Jerome suggested.

Curtis
