getting all open windows' titles?

[Cammer, Michael]

To fill a pull down menu in a dialog window with all open images' titles we've been using this.

  titles = newArray(nImages());
  for (i=1; i<=nImages(); i++) {
    selectImage(i);
    titles[i-1] = getTitle();
  }

Is there a way to also get the titles of all open text windows?

A work around would be to get all the file names in a directory and then sort them by extension, but we're really only interested in offering the users choices from open windows.

Thank you!!

Hi Michael,

it should work with the command

nonImageTitleArray = getList("window.titles");

According to the macro language API this gives you directly the array of
non-image windows.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Jan
