Case View
Case View arranges ImageJ images stored in a folder into an onscreen grid of thumbnail images. Double clicking on a thumbnail opens an image. Many of the operations that you can perform with the system finder such as copy, move, rename, delete are also implemented in Case View.
Images opened via the Case View are opened in Scale to Fit mode.
Add images to the case view window simply by saving them inside the folder contain the images.
Thumbnail sizes can be adjusted using the slider at the bottom of the case view window.
You can enter a filter to restrict which images are displayed in case view. A ‘*’ will match any text. For example ’*.tif’ matches all files ending with a ‘.tif’ filename extension. ‘{*.tif,*.png}’ will match all files ending with ‘.tif’ or ‘.png’.
Image files can be moved by dragging and dropping between case views and or the system finder. Hold down the control key whilst dragging and dropping to copy the image rather than moving it.
Use the checkbox beneath the thumbnail to select an image. The File menu has options for making selections and either opening or deleting the selected of images.
Show Finder opens the system finder on the folder containing the images
Rebuild Previews will rebuild the table of thumbnals should they get out of date or lost
Create Web Page creates and opens a web page of all the thumbnails, clicking on a thumbnail in the web page opens a full size image of the thumbnail.
Close All Closes all open images from this Case View images. If the images have been modified you will be prompted to save each image.
Kill All Closes all open images from this Case View images without prompting or saving any modified images.
The View menu gives various options to sort and specify what gets listed.
How it works.
When you create a cade view window for a given folder of images, a folder called Case Settings is created inside the original folder. Each time an image from within the case view folder is saved, a JPEG full size image of how the images appeared on screen is saved inside the Case Settings folder. The case view window thumbnails are used to populate the case view window.
For this to work well you must be running ImageJ 1.54h10 or newer (the ImageJ daily build at the time of writing this)
Also inside the Case Settings folder is a CaseSettings.json file that holds the parameters for the case view.
You can delete the Case Settings folder and or any of its contents as it is always can be recreated on demand.
