No "Duplicate Entire Stack" option when calling run("Duplicate...", "title=Title"); in a macro ?

[Bill Mohler]

The macro recorder does not distinguish whether I check the Duplicate Entire Stack box when calling Duplicate... from the Image menu.

When I run a macro using a Duplicate... command that I recorded (with the box checked), the macro only duplicates the current slice.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Can the run("Duplicate..."   command be modified to accept that option within the macro code?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

sorry, I cannot reproduce the problem.

entire stack:
   run("Duplicate...", "title=NewStack duplicate");
single slice:
   run("Duplicate...", "title=NoStack");

As usual, for checkboxes, the first word of each option is
recorded if the checkbox is active (and converted to lowercase).
So, "Duplicate Entire Stack" simply becomes "duplicate".

If you have a space in the name of the output stack, male sure
you enclose it in brackets:
   run("Duplicate...", "title=[My Second Stack] duplicate");

OK.  Thanks for the explanation!

I must have made some error in copying the line of code.  It works for me
now!
