Hi Thomas,

Ok, You're right, I haven't noticed it.. Sorry for stupid question.

In the meantime I discovered a little problem in run script on unix-like
systems. The script looks like this:
java -Xmx512m -jar ij.jar

It works only if it is executed from ImageJ directory, and it is harder
to run ImageJ from graphical menu using a launcher (as described in
installation instruction
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/docs/install/linux.html#launcher).

Maybe the generic run script could be modified to something like this,
to locate the jar file automatically:

#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT_DIR=`dirname $0`
java -Xmx512m -jar $SCRIPT_DIR/ij.jar

To simplify running / creating laucher (it will not require any text
console activity)?

Best regards,
Jarek
