Hi Kenneth,
you can get the original directory from which the .tif file came using:
path = getInfo("image.directory");
and then set the default SaveAs directory using:
call("ij.io.OpenDialog.setDefaultDirectory", path);
which you can then wrap into a simple customSaveAs macro
macro "customSaveAs [s]" {
path = getInfo("image.directory");
call("ij.io.OpenDialog.setDefaultDirectory", path);
run ("PNG...");
}
Now pressing the 's' key will pop up a save as png dialog which defaults to
the current image directory. You could also add this macro to the
StartupMacros.txt file in the macros folder to have it installed at startup.
If you prefer avoiding save as dialogs completely, you could also use the
Process>Batch>Convert... command ;-)
Jerome.
