Hi Armin,
Selecting image windows by title isn't safe, as you might have several
images with the same title. Selecting by image id is better as each image
has a unique id.

In short, you can get an image id with:

  int id = imp.getID();

and later select it with:

  IJ.selectWindow(id);

Sincerely,
Jerome

> I do some evaluations on an image and upon certain keypresses a result is
added to a ResultsTable. After that I want to get the focus back to the
original image again. I tried to understand the logics of the
WindowManager, but it seems that I fail in that respect.

“_createBleachingResult()” will add the current result to the ResultsTable
(creating the ResultsTable upon first call). After adding the result I call
the show() function of the table to update the screen representation. Then
I try to get the focus back to the _sourceImage. When debugging, the
content of win seems resonable, as the debugger shows the correct title of
the _sourceImage in the win variable. But neither “setCurrentWindow” nor
“setWindow” bring the focus back to the _sourceImage.
