Opening non-supported files with a macro

Hi,
I am writing a macro to load images from a thermal imaging system.
I can import the data with the File>Import command but I want to have a macro
that will let me choose which file to open.

If I use the open() macro function, it expects to open a file in a supported
format, but of course I only want to get the file name through the file
chooser.

Is there a way to do this (get a non-supported file name using a file chooser)
with a macro (instead of a plugin)?

Thanks

Gabriel

Grid_ Plugin

I am wanting to do something very similar to the Grid_ plugin on the
website and was hoping seeing how it worked would help me.

However I just can't get Grid_ to run. I always get the error:

Note: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated.
C:\Program Files\ImageJ\plugins\Grid_.java:33: Interface DialogListener
of class Grid_ not found.
public class Grid_ implements PlugIn, DialogListener {
^
1 error, 1 warning

I'm sorry to ask a very basic question but I've tried a lot of things
and just don't know how to fix it. I have the latest version of ImageJ
as well....

What version is that? the latest jar file or the lastest install download?
(they are different things).

Have you tried to recompile the plugin?

Hi Gabriel,

what about something like this:

headerLength = 1024; //how many bytes to read initially to analyze
the header
run("Raw...", "image=8-bit height=1 offset=0 number=1 width="+
headerLength); //asks the user for the file and reads the header
path = "'"+getDirectory("image")+getTitle+"'";

(... analyze header by reading the image as a byte array ...)

run("Raw...", "open="+path+" image='32-bit Real' width="+width+
" height="+height+" offset="+headerLength); //now really open
the image

It's the latest install download and I downloaded the compiler from the
suggested link on the ImageJ website.

I've recompiled it many times, I've restarted imagej, I've added many
things into the code and took other things out. I presume I have to add
something in as the error suggests something is missing. I have just run
out of ideas....

If it is the latest install download, it is not the "latest" version (which is
1.38x).

Please read this and update to the latest ij.jar file.

Ah, yes, very clever and as a bonus I get the header loaded as well! Great.
Thanks Michael!

The updated, non-destructive Grid plugin at
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/grid.html> requires ImageJ 1.38u or
later,
