Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to check whether a function has  
finished in a macro, in order to avoid the next command being  
initiated too early.

I have read the following:  
http://imagej.1557.x6.nabble.com/Is-it-normal-to-use-a-wait-instruction-after-a-command-td5011551.html , and applied the proposed solution therein for functions that produce a new image window as  
output.
For example:

while (!isOpen("Resulting-Image")) {
wait(100);
}

However, I would also like to be able to check if filters that don't  
produce a new image window, such as the "Gaussian Blur 3D", were  
executed completely.

Is there a trick that allows you to do this?
Or is it necessary to change the plugin to allow for this?  Would that  
be a hard thing to do (I am only familiar with macros)?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Djoere
