saving personal preferences / options / settings for ImageJ?

[Marco Moller]

Hello,

How can I save my personal preferences / options / settings, so that
each time I start the ImageJ (FIJI) program they are right away active
instead of the ImageJ default values?

In detail, I am working with electron microscopy TIF images where the
Length Unit (used i.e. in the measure, results and scale bar functions)
best is to be set to "nm" in the IMAGE>PROPERTIES... dialog, instead of
using the ImageJ default "cm". So, I would like to preset, that "nm" is
used as my personal default, preventing that I each time have to change
this setting upon loading a new image to ImageJ.

Thanks,

Marco

Hi Marco,

in Analyze>Set scale, the default unit for uncalibrated images is 'pixel'. If your images have a scale in 'cm', this is probably a property of the TIFF images.

Enable Debug mode in Edit>Options>Misc and open an image. The log window should tell you more:
If the ResolutionUnit is 3, this means 'cm', a value of 2 stands for 'inch'.

You can write a plugin (called by StartupMacros.txt) that implements the ImageListener interface and checks the current unit on imageOpened. Then, if the current scale is 'cm', adjust the resolution and unit.

See the sources of ij.plugin.EventListener, and the ij.measure.Calibration classes.

Thanks a lot Michael,
You have been right! My TIF images have ResolutionUnit = 3.
As I am not a programmer, I will see if I can get such StartupMacro
written by myself. Maybe I can find somebody to write it for me, but I
have no idea how much work this is...
All the best,
Marco.
