Subject: Re: Batch rename DICOM files with header info
According to the reference
"The file or directory must be in the user's home directory, the ImageJ
directory or the temp directory."
You can just put the files under any directory named ImageJ and it will
work. There is also now an exec() macro function that will execute
system commands. I haven't tried it, but you may be able to use that
instead.
