more on ROI manager; helping those who help each other?

Bill Christens-Barry
Thanks, Wayne, for your answers to my recent questions about saving and
opening ROI files. One of your answers explained how one might write a
macro for creating and manipulating ROIs in a text editor. In playing
with the RoiManager I noticed that the macro recorder could record some
buttons but not others (e.g. Rename). I'd like to be able to record all
RoiManager button events, and this brings me to a new area of curiosity.

Rather than just add to an increasing number of feature requests (so
growing because as ImageJ increases in capability, new possibilities
arise!), how can ImageJ users help get such features implemented? Would
submission of proposed source code fragments help, or would this bog you
down in having to orient to and check code not of your own design?

Starting with ImageJ 1.37h, clicks in the ROI Manager list and on the
"Rename" button are recorded. The recorder generates code that looks
like this:

     roiManager("Select", 1);
     roiManager("Rename", "A new name");

  I like getting code submissions. It's best if the proposed feature has
wide appeal and that any changes to existing code are limited and well
marked.
