Hi Jan
Again thank you for your quick reply.

I usually program in Jython. However, this problem occurs there also, I
assume that the trouble there occurs when I am using the IJ.run method,
since that opens image windows. I try to use the API calls, but
sometimes I use a plugin that is much easier to run using IJ.run.
I found that when using the IJ.run method, is is often necessary to
first display an image (ie, to use the imp.show() method) before running
the command in IJ.run. I assume this happens for methods where the
ImagePlus is not passed as an argument, and they ge the image from teh
open and active ImageWindow.
Best regards
