I've never noticed that! (I don't have access to Macs). This is because
part of the WCIF bundle is the IJ_prefs.txt which defines some menu
positions and hotkeys to match the online manual. In the IJ_Prefs.txt
file the Image_Enhance is entered as "Plugins>Enhance Image" (not sure
why now...) and assigned the hotkey Ctrl+e (or just "e").
On PC's the IJ_prefs.txt is simply installed in the imagej folder; on
Macs it needs to be in ImageJ's "Preferences" folder(?) Is this right?
I'm not sure how to update the "plugins only" package to do this
automatically. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Regards,

Tony
