Hi all,
I've been trying to wrap my head around Fiji and I'm a little stuck on
the best way to handle this. This is my train of thought.
- We have 2 image file formats, .im and .nrrd and a plugin that can open
both.
- At the OS level I'd like to be able to associate these file types with
Fiji to take advantage of consistency across platforms and avoid shell
script / classpath sillyness.
- In Fiji the HandleExtraFileTypes class is inside
IO_-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar as opposed to having the .java and .class in
plugins/Input-Output/ where you could edit the java.
- Also I am most likely blind because I can't find the source for Fiji's
HandleExtraFileTypes. It's not in the jar itself and it's not in fiji.git?
* Because of the above I'm not exactly sure what class is actually
opening .nrrd files. In the case of a simple .nrrd (eg blobs.gif saved
as a nrrd, which has a bug I think but that's another email) it looks
like io.Nrrd_Reader. In the case of one of my nrrds it's passed to loci...
- This makes me think that editing HandleExtraFileTypes is maybe not the
way to go. Is there a better (or any?) way to associate a given file
type with a specific plugin? Is there a reason HandleExtraFileTypes is
"hidden" in a jar?
Thoughts?
Thanks
Collin
