new user with very basic problem

[Charles R Parker]

I am new to ImageJ and have no experience with Java.  I also am in the
process of becoming familiar with Mac OS X.  On my old Windows machine I
can successfully run ImageJ with downloaded plugins (e.g., Stackreg).
However, on the iMac ImageJ doesn't seem to recognize the presence of
downloaded plugins, and I have been unable to figure out why.  Can someone
suggest a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,

I run ImageJ at home on my Mac PowerBook (PowerPC) running  Mac OS 10.3.9 just fine.  Just like on my WindowsXP machine at work, the plugins go in a plugin folder in the ImageJ folder. Currently I'm running version 1.38n of ImageJ on Java 1.4.2_12, according to the About ImageJ screen.

The only differences I've noticed is that it runs much slower than on my work machine, and I can't drag images onto the ImageJ menu bar to open them (but they open when I drag them on the icon in the dock).

Just like on Windows you need to quit and restart ImageJ for it to recognize the newly loaded plugins. Also, just like in Windows,  you need to  compile the Java files, but not the Jar or class files.

Does this help?

If not, what versions of OS and ImageJ and what Mac are you on?  Do no downloaded plugins work?

I use ImageJ on Mac OS X.  I'll list some of the things to check.

There should be an ImageJ folder in Applications.  The check this,  
open a Finder window and navigate to Applications.

Inside the ImageJ folder you should find (among other things) an  
application called ImageJ (probably the microscope icon), a file  
called ij.jar and a folder called plugins.  I assume you are only  
having problems with the plugins, so the application and the jar file  
are probably correct.

If you don't have a plugins folder, something went wrong with your  
installation.  You could create it yourself if you really don't have  
one or can't find one you downloaded.

Inside the plugins folder (if you had one) you should find plugins  
(.java and .class files) or more folders containing plugins.  ImageJ  
looks here for plugins.

If there are only .java files in the plugins folder, you need to  
compile them.  It's an option on the Plugins menu called 'Compile and  
Run...'.

I didn't cover what to do if you don't have an ImageJ folder in  
Applications: move the ImageJ application you downloaded into  
Applications.

The above are all the simple things to do.  If they don't work, we'll  
continue on to the harder stuff.
