Thank you for the suggestions!
1. Being able to control the camera from ImageJ would, indeed, be useful.
However, due to the nature of the existing plug-in, this is currently not
possible. We will look into other avenues of supporting scripting in
ImageJ, though we currently do not have concrete plans at this point.
2. The Snap button is currently the only mapped function to ImageJ.
Since the average feature is part of QCapture Suite and not the plugin and
since ImageJ has its own average function, this feature would be redundant.
3. We do not have a Linux plugin currently because we do not have QCapture
for Linux. Since our plugins invoke a subset of the QCapture program, this
would not be possible in Linux.

David,
Now that you mention this (I bought on of those cameras), do you have any
say in the way that the plugin is being developed?
I have 3 suggestions:
1. One of the problems is that the plugin would benefit enormously from
being able to be controlled from either the macro language or a plugin
(currently one cannot do this). For instance I would like very much to be
able to trigger a shot from the macro language, and to be able to set the
other controls too. At the moment I wrote and I am using the IJ_Robot plugin
to do it, but it is a pain regarding the positioning of the windows. This
also prevents to develop more complex plugins that include image capturing.
2. Another problem is that the plugin does not allow to do average capture
(while the Windows program can). Not sure why, the option for doing average
capture is grey (and not functional) when using the plugin.
3. Please, please provide a linux version of the plugin. QImaging provides a
linux SDK, but this does not seem to work in suse 10.1.
Please feel free to contact me off-line if you want more specific details.
Regards,
Gabriel
