Hello Xavier,
I futzed together a small plugin that can be called from the
macro language to make directories on the fly. Check the mailing
list archives at
http://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind0506&L=imagej#89 for details
(thread #89 during June 2005). This does not help you with other
operations like deleting/moving files, etc., but it is a start.
For somebody with some Java language and plugin writing
skills, I think it would literally take them just a few minutes to
write some simple, single purpose plugins like the "make directory"
one. I think many people would probably benefit from the addition of
such file operation functions to the macro language itself. But it's
simply a matter of Wayne or somebody else finding the time to do so,
and if their schedules are anything like mine and probably yours, I
can easily understand why they haven't got to it yet!
Hope this gets you started!
