The macro is too sensitive to clicks

[Avital Steinberg]

Hi,
I have a macro which is supposed to run in batch mode. However, if I click
on the ROI manager by mistake, I get an error message saying that: "only
one item can be selected" and the program stops running.

Is there any way to turn off the event listening, since this macro is not
supposed to be interactive?

Thanks,
Avital

Hi Avital,

Have you tried running your macro headless from the command line?

http://imagej.net/Headless

Then no GUI will be shown, and there will be no chance of the operation
becoming compromised by normal user actions.

Or if the macro cannot run headless for some reason, you could run it in an
isolated way somehow (e.g., in a VM) to avoid tainting the processing.

Regards,
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
I didn't know about this option - I will try it.

Thanks,
