handling of "raw" files

Dear List,
I would require your help with a small, but unfortunate, problem that appeared with version 1.47r, as a result of the addition of a dialog box by default for the handling of *.raw files.

The fact is I have been using ImageJ for many years, developing plugins and macros for analysis and handling of "in-house" images. Most of these images have a .raw extension and are without any header. To simplify and accelerate the manipulation of these images, I used the HandleExtrafiletypes method to handle these files and opened them according to our specifications (dimensions and bitdepth is derivated from filesize as we only have a few discrete possibilities with our images). The code is quite simplistic, but saved a lot of time during manipulations.

The automatic handling of the .raw files by way of the dialog box introduced in 1.47r, bypasses the handleextrafiletypes, thus preventing our implementation from working.

Is there a way (apart from not updating imageJ version) to make sure that the handleextrafiletypes is used for files with .raw as extension?

Would it be a good idea to provide a way to give user the option to choose if extensions are handled by imageJs default approach or by a definition in handleextrafiletypes (ex: .dat files, .raw files...)?

Do not hesitate to contact me should you have questions or require more information.

Thank you for your help and your time,

With best regards,

In the latest ImageJ daily build (1.48h10), the Import Raw dialog is not displayed if you enable "Skip dialog when opening .raw files" in the Edit>Options>Input/Output dialog box.
