avoid automatic "save changes" dialog in a plug-in

[Agnès Sauleda Brossa]

Hi everybody,

I'm writing a plug-in and the way I use to close windows I don't need
anymore is:

imp.getWindow().close();  where imp is an ImagePlus

this happens to display a dialog asking if I want to save cahnges in images.
What do I have to do to avoid this dialog? I don't need to save the changes.

thanks,

Agnès

Use

     imp.changes = false;
     imp.getWindow().close();

Note that this method generates an exception if your plugin as called
from a macro running in batch mode. With ImageJ 1.36 and later, you can
use

     imp.changes = false;
     imp.close();

which does not have this problem.

Agnes,

Just set the 'changes' field in the ImagePlus to false.
