problem with find command and new fiji install on macos

[Aryeh Weiss]

This started with a problem using the search bar in fiji. When entering
some string, eg skeleton, I would get back all of the commands that
include skeleton in their name, including skeleton1, skeleton2, etc that
appear in plugins/Morphology (Gabriel Landini's macros).
Also, those macros used ot appear in the Plugins>Morphology menu, but no
longer.

That stopped happening  - the search bar, and find command, and the
plugins menu all no longer see the macros in that subdirectory of plugins.
The search bar seems to lose other commands also.

On a xubuntu system I have, this problem does not occur.

So the natural thing to try was to download a fresh Fiji, unzip it on my
Desktop or in Downloads, select the appropriate sites (eg Morphology),
and see if the problem is present there. However, when I try, that, I
that the updater does not work , and it pops up a long window with a lot
of files that it thinks are read only (but my  computer does not list
them as read only). I cannot copy that window, but the list starts with
jars/miglayou-3.7.4-swing.jar, and goes on and on. If I try to add an
update site, it says the installer failed.

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/private/var/folders/z5/zp1ywtqso3q4...../T/AppTranslocation/1FA0...../Fiji.app/update/plugins/Bar_-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
(Read-only file system)

The ... means that there is a long apparently randomly generated name
with lots of digits and characters.

This is new and worries me, because it means I cannot install Fiji on my
system.

I rebooted the system, thinking that maybe the OS messed up some temp
file system, but this did not help.

Now here is something interesting -- if I launch the new fiji by going
into the MacOS sub-directory and directly clicking on  imagej-macosx, it
will launch, and successfully update. Launching again from Fiji.app
reproduces the updater problem.

And BTW, the search bar problem remains even in the new installation, so
at least there I think that there is some problem introduced in a recent
update. I have not had a chance to pull up my backups, I will do that
tomorrow if the problem is not identified by then.

The search bar problem is an annoyance, but the install problem is a big
deal.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

This sounds like it *might* be related to a problem (I have had)
mentioned on the Forum here
http://forum.imagej.net/t/missing-plugins-menu-item/11888 and here

http://forum.imagej.net/t/plugin-scripts-no-longer-appear-in-plugin-menu-on-mac-osx/11924 
. I think it is specific to Mac OSX-- Jan Eglinger suggested a quick fix
for specific plugins on the forum, but it doesn't look like this has
been resolved yet.Not sure what the status of this is.

Thank you for your reply, and pointing me to the forum discussion.
This is probably related. If I put the Morphology directory in scripts,
teh search bar finds the scripts,
but Plugins>Utilities>Command Finder does not. On the other hand,
command finder finds things in plugins, and  the search bar misses much
of that.
I thought that maybe the search bar does not find anything in plugins,
but then I saw that it found a .py file that is in plugins.

Is there a way to list the update history of Fiji? That would allow us
to trace back and see which update introduced the problem.

The new fiji install still has the strange behavior  that the updater
works correctly when I launch it from imagej-macos, but I get the
various permissions errors when I launch from Fiji.app. Time to learn
what macos does when it launches programs from the .app directory...

Has that problem been solved now? I have the same on several Macs in our
institute.
I saw on the forum discussion that there should be a fix. Shouldn't that
be delivered with a FIJI update? I just updated but still have the
problem that my installed macros don't appear in the menu.

Best regards

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

as far as I can tell, the fix for this issue [1] hasn't been uploaded to
the Java-8 update site yet, but will be with the next round of Fiji
component updates.

In the meantime, you can still work around the issue by moving your
scripts from
     ./plugins/<Your>/<Scripts>

into the canonical scripts location:
     ./scripts/Plugins/<Your>/<Scripts>

Jan

Yes Pascal it was resolved for me, and as far as I know it was delivered
with the last Fiji update. Have you tried updating today? I'd point you
at the forum for the specific discussions but there is a big migration
going on as ImageJ/CellProfilerand other forums are merged. Try updating
now and ensuring that your scripts/macros have an underscore in the names.

Hi all,

Sorry for my silence. Very busy with the forum.image.sc merge at the moment.

I did release and upload a new scijava-common.jar this morning though,
which includes the critical bug-fix relating to the script discovery. So
update your Fiji and you should receive the fix.

Regards,
Curtis

I just installed the update, and have the following behavior.

The search bar in the main Fiji window finds things in the scripts
directory, but misses some things in the plugins directory (or maybe
subdirectories. ShapeSmoothing is one that it misses, but I have not
figured out a pattern to be able to say what it misses and what not.

The command finder finds everything that I have looked for under plugins,
but does not find things that arein scripts 9eg, teh Landini-morphology
macros that I put there when this issue first arose).

Between the two search tools, I am covered, so it is not a big deal, but I
thought it would be useful for you to know.
Additional info - my system is  MacOs 10.13.6, and the java version is
1.8.0_144.

Best regards

[Pascal Lorentz-2]

Hi Curtis

Thanks a lot.
I updated Fiji yesterday before I wrote my email and did not receive the
fix. I just tried it again now and finally got it. So in my case the
macro shows again in the plugins menu and can also be found through the
search bar.

Thanks again.

Pascal
