Re: Antwort: Redirect of Plugins Directory

I am trying to get Solution 1 to work on my computer. I can paste this into
the run box:

java -Dplugins.dir="C:\ImageJ PLugins" -cp "C:\Program Files\ImageJ\ij.jar"
ij.ImageJ

Although that sets the new plug-in folder as "C:\ImageJ PLugins" it also
opens up a command prompt screen. Having an extra window appear is annoying
and if you close that it will also closes ImageJ which could cause some
undesirable affects.

Is there anyway of using the above command that wont open up the command
prompt window as well.

Thanks for your time
Graeme

Hi,

this problem I think came up more than once:

Solution 1)

The "plugins.dir" property specifies the location of the parent of the
plugins directory. This property can be set from either the command
line or from within a Java program that starts ImageJ. For example, if
you run ImageJ with the command

     java -Dplugins.dir=/Users/wayne -cp ij.jar ij.ImageJ

it will look for the plugins folder in the /Users/wayne/ directory.
This property can also be set in a program that launches ImageJ:

     System.getProperties().setProperty("plugins.dir",
"/Users/wayne/ImageJ");
     new ImageJ(null)

Solution 2)

Yes. You can pass the command line option "-ijpath x:/hello" and ImageJ
will look in x:/hello/plugins for the plugins.

You could also try some trickery with Java properties, but that is more
complicated.

Alternatively, you could patch ImageJ to read the plugin path from
IJ_Props.txt, which is contained in the JAR file.


Cheers

Is there a mechanism that will allow the relocation of where ImageJ
(located on the C drive) looks to find the plugin directory (e.g. on a
networked drive where "my documents" that is backed-up)?  --- Mike
