macro command to define default folder

[Bill Christens-Barry-2]

Hi,

Is there a macro command that will define an arbitrary, subsequent default folder in which an open file dialog will begin? My search turned up a comparable discussion regarding ij.io.OpenDialog() constructors:

https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1008&L=imagej&P=R49258&1=imagej&9=A&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4


but didn't yield means for doing this in the macro language.

Thanks.

Hi Bill

have a look at the following thread
https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0811&L=imagej&P=R1828&1=imagej&9=A&I=-3&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4

   myDirectory = "/home/bill/inputfiles1/";
   call("ij.io.OpenDialog.setDefaultDirectory", myDirectory);

The separator (slash) at the end of myDirectory is optional.

You can also get the current default folder:
   currentDirectory = call("ij.io.OpenDialog.getDefaultDirectory");
