Re: multiple selection in ROI manager

[dpoburko]

Hi All,

I was just reviews the news on te Image J website and noticed the
comment about selecting multiple ROIs:
_
"1.43i, 22 October 2009_
Worked around a bug with Java 1.6 on Mac OS X that caused multiple
selection in the ROI Manager to not work."

If I understand correctly, does this mean that in Image J in Windows  
(XP SP3), we should be able to shift+click a group of ROIs? By that I
mean that one would select all ROIs between the two ROIs that are
shift+clicked? The reason I ask is that I assumed this is how the ROI
manager is supposed to work, but it has never done so for me. Can
someone spell this out for me? IJ 1.43j, java 1.6.0_14.

My apologies in advance if I have missed this in previous threads. I did
look, but didn't see any resolution to the case in Windows.

Best,
Damon

Shift-clicking to select a range of ROIs only works on Mac OS X. On
Windows and Linux, you have to shift-click on each ROI you want to
select. Note that ROI Manager commands operate on all the ROIs if none
are selected, so clicking on the "Deselect" button is equivalent to
"Select All".

Hi Wayne,
 
  Thanks for the speedy reply. Just to clarify, is the lack of
shift+click in Windows intentional? Will the ROI manager for IJ in
Windows will never have the normal Windows shift+click functionality? Is
this a Java limitation or intentional design?

Thanks,
Damon

This is a Java and/or OS limitation that is worked around in the  
v1.43k5 daily build, thinks to Michael Schmid.

Michael and Wayne,

  Many thanks. The work around works great!

With gratitude,
