Is it possible to save an array of preferences ? eg can I do:

for (i=0; i<nDevices; i++)  call("ij.Prefs.set", "captureTool.ifCapture[i]
",ifCapture[i]);

Apparently not in version 1.43q because what is saved (silently) in
IJ_Prefs.txt is:

.captureTool.ifCapture[i]\ =1

What does work is:

 for (i=0; i<nDevices; i++)  call("ij.Prefs.set",
"captureTool.ifCapture"+i,ifCapture[i]);

which is fine since I can retrieve the preference array with:

for (i=0; i<nDevices; i++)  ifCapture[i] =
call("ij.Prefs.get","captureTool.ifCapture"+i,ifCapture[i]);
