getPath bug ??

[chris elliott]

In the example code (ShowPath.txt macro) it says:

function getPath() {
       if (nImages==0) return "Error: no images open";
       selectImage(getImageID);
       run("Select None");  // bug workaround
       info = getInfo();

Is this bug now fixed? If so, is there a minimal version of ImageJ I
should require - or some code to circumvent the deslection?

You can get the path an image was loaded from using the getInfo("image.directory") and getInfo("image.filename") macro functions, which were added in 1.43h. Here is an example:

    dir = getInfo("image.directory");
    name = getInfo("image.filename");
    path = dir + name;
    print(path);
