Hi Michael,
it seems this might have been the problem, after upgrading to latest ImageJ
I don't see this error any more.
But the basic problem remains, I don't know which stacks my macro opened.
Is there a way for a plugin or macro to know which windows it opened? I use
the ome loci plugin to load datasets with multiple timepoints, and have the
'split' option activated, so I get T (invisible) datasets.
It seems like bad programming to just call
process()
close()
T times, and assume it will be the correct windows. What would happen if the
user activates another window in the meantime? Would I not process and close
the wrong one?
I could of course make assumptions on the opened datasets names, but that
seems like even more error-prone?
Cheers,
Mario
