Hi Matt,

you can put square brackets around the directory+filename, then spaces don't do any harm.

run("Bio-Formats Windowless Importer", "open=["+inBase + path+"] color_mode=Default view=Hyperstack stack_order=XYCZT");

If you have
  open=C:\Users\Matt Jacobs\Desktop\K259_tlx3cre_Rabies\whateverFile.vsi
the space is taken as a delimiter,
  open=C:\Users\Matt
and the next statement would be
  Jacobs\Desktop\K259_tlx3cre_Rabies\whateverFile.vsi
As the second part is not any keyword, it is probably ignored.
So it should be
  open=[C:\Users\Matt Jacobs\Desktop\K259_tlx3cre_Rabies\whateverFile.vsi]

---

One more point:
in your macro, you have
  if (endsWith(path, "/"))
to check whether this is a directory.
It would be better to use
  if(File.isDirectory(path))
The current code seems to work also under Windows because ImageJ replaces the backslash by a slash, but relying on this is not a nice solution.
