Installation
for IJ macro and Javascripts:
Download Drop_Macro.jar and place it in the ImageJ plugin folder.
for IJ macro, Javascripts and Jython:
2012/02/19 – A new version available with capability for Jyson scripts (files with .py ending). Since this new version requires Fiji or a classpath set to jython.jar, I leave the old version with only IJ macro and Javascript as it is above. The new version could be downloaded from the link below.
Requires
ImageJ ver 1.44h or higher (ImageJ, upgrade page).
Description
Opens a small window that allows you to drag and drop ImageJ macro and/or ImageJ Javascript files. You could load as many files as you want by simply drag-and-dropping files diretly from filesystem brawser such as “windows explorer” or “Finder (osx)”. Dropped files will all be listed in the drop-down menu. Selecting one macro/scrip and clicking “Run” button will run the macro/script. “Clear” button will clear the list of dropped files. “Code” button will open the code, and let you edit the file.
The reason I made this plugin is to edit macro/scripts using external editors such as Notepad++ or Vim. Since DropScript pluing accesses the code in the saved file everytime “Run” is clicked, you could edit the code in external editor and save while the macro/script is keep on being listed in the DropScript drop-down menu.
