Thank you for the prompt response.

Does "run" set the "current image"?  I see that WindowManager offers methods such as:

 getActiveWindow()
 getCurrentImage()


Next on my list would be:

  getImageTitles()

finding one starting with "aligned", and then

  getImage(title)


The best bet seems to be "getActiveWindow()" or "getCurrentImage()" - since I think the top window is the aligned stack, on completion.  This might be confounded by the log window showing progress.

Searching titles has the flaw that a careless user may leave old windows laying about, which would confuse things.

I think I'll experiment with these before trying to modify someone else's plugin.
