Run single instance listener not working

dplatten
I have searched the list and seen that people have had this problem before, but the suggested solutions don't work for me.

I would like to only have one instance of Fiji running at a time, but it is ignoring the "Run single instance listener" setting.

For example, I have Fiji running with an image open. If I then run Fiji from the command line to open another image I get another instance of Fiji launching which opens the new image. I want this second image to open in the existing instance of Fiji.

I am using Fiji (ImageJ 1.49C) on Windows XP, and have also tried on Windows 7, where the same thing happens.

I have a vanilla version of ImageJ (1.48c) installed on the Windows XP computer: this adheres to the "Run single instance listener" setting.

I wonder if it has something to do with Fiji being a portable app, and the ImageJ installation being a "properly installed" program?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

David

I can confirm that this is still a problem with an up-to-date version of
Fiji on Windows 7. I filed an issue for it:
