Hi Aryeh,
You can use the macro recorder to record java code instead of macro
commands, and translate the java to python. e.g. with
Plugins > Macros > Record "Java"
selected, I get the following java code when clicking
File > Import Image Sequence...
IJ.run("Image Sequence...", "open=/path/to/files autoscale
color_mode=Default quiet view=Hyperstack stack_order=XYCZT number=8
file=filename_pattern sort autoscale color_mode=Default quiet
view=Hyperstack stack_order=XYCZT");
which can be converted to the jython script:
from ij import IJ
IJ.run("Image Sequence...", "open=/path/to/files autoscale
color_mode=Default quiet view=Hyperstack stack_order=XYCZT number=8
file=filename_pattern sort autoscale color_mode=Default quiet
view=Hyperstack stack_order=XYCZT")
If you want a list of open files, try the IJ.WindowManager:
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/api/e.g. here is some jython code that prints window titles:
from ij import WindowManager
windowIDs = WindowManager.getIDList()
windowTitles = [WindowManager.getImage(i).getTitle() for i in windowIDs]
for t in windowTitles:
print t
