Several things

christophe leterrier
First:
I constantly use Tony Collins' ImageJ bundle, with the tremendous
"Enhance Image" function that calls a dialog box for filtering and
contrast-enhancing images. Im my lab, we work with both PCs (windows XP)
and Macs (OS 10.4), and I've noticed that this function is called
"Enhance Image " on PCs and "Image Enhance" on Macs (with the written
spaces). It is a problem, as I have a macro that calls this feature and
has to use run("Enhance Image "...) or run("Image Enhance"...) depending
on the computer used. This limits the cross-platformity of the program !
Maybe it's just a matter of updating the Mac plugin package from WCIF.

Second:
Just another thing, I use the "getImageInfo" macro command followed by a
"split" to save the infos in an array and then get the line
corresponding to the slice "slice x/n (name)", detect the parenthesis
and then... I can get the label of an slice in a stack. Is there a
simpler way to get the label of the slices ? I'll try something with
getMetadata/setMetadata.

Third:
I  notices a bug in the Image1.35r version, as the
"split(string,identifier)" macro command did not work correctly (on PC
windows XP). This is corrected though in the 1.35s version.

This is just another day trying to make people use ImageJ in my lab and
debbuging on three different machines... Anyway the software is great !

I've never noticed that! (I don't have access to Macs). This is because
part of the WCIF bundle is the IJ_prefs.txt which defines some menu
positions and hotkeys to match the online manual. In the IJ_Prefs.txt
file the Image_Enhance is entered as "Plugins>Enhance Image" (not sure
why now...) and assigned the hotkey Ctrl+e (or just "e").
On PC's the IJ_prefs.txt is simply installed in the imagej folder; on
Macs it needs to be in ImageJ's "Preferences" folder(?) Is this right?
I'm not sure how to update the "plugins only" package to do this
automatically. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Regards,

Tony
