Hi Matt,

The latest "fresh install" package is for v3.0.0.

I'm guessing you have looked at the release notes (copied below) and determined that some of the v3.1.0 changes are useful in your labs. Assuming that is the case, I will build a Mac version of 3.1.0 tomorrow evening. One difficulty is that I do not currently have direct control of the UofL website page that hosts the AIJ downloads, but hopefully I can get it posted in a day or two. The other issue is that it is a lot of work to build and test all of the individual platform install packages.

Since the update process only installs the three key files ij.jar, Astronomy_.jar, and startup_macros.txt, I'm not sure if the Mac OS X application bundle version issue can be solved for the "update" feature, short of offering an option to disable the update feature. Let me look into that more tomorrow evening as well.

Karen

-------------------------------------------

Version 3.1.0 (with ImageJ 1.47i)

Changes

·         Multi_Plot(MP)

·         Fixed a problem with the “Save all” menu item that caused the aperture overlays shown in the field image saved as a JPG or PNG to be displayed in the wrong location on the underlying image

·         Added a new menu item that creates Minor Planet Center (MPC) data submission format to Multi-plot_Main->File menu (thanks to Ferran Casarramona for the example macro from which the feature was created).

·         Optionally handles the entry of reference star apparent magnitude in the reference star panel. New table columns are created or overwritten when changes to ref star apparent magnitudes are changed. The new columns are Source_AMag_Xxx and Source_AMag_Err_Xxx. The error values are calculated based on the target and ref star photometric error and do not include errors in the ref star magnitudes that are entered. The Source_AMag_Xxx columns are ideal for submitting to the Minor Planet Center.

·         Image Display

·         Added an option to show nearby SIMBAD objects in a web browser when right-clicking within an image with WCS headers

·         Added RGB Composer to Color menu

·         Corrected problem with display of RGB values in the ‘Value’ field above an image

·         Multi-Aperture (MA)

·         Added option to handle apparent magnitude calculations for target stars when magnitudes of reference stars are entered by user

·         Added option to open SIMBAD to objects near the clicked location of a newly defined aperture (when entering apparent magnitude)

·         Added capability to move apertures by clicking and dragging them to a new location

·         Single step now supports two modes of operation after defining apertures. (Option 1) a single click on T1/C1 in each image applies all apertures, performs photometry, and advances to the next image. (Option 2) allows changes to apertures between images but requires a left-click on the T1/C1 star to place apertures. Then after making any aperture corrections,  a right click (or Enter) performs photometry and advances to the next image.

·         Photometer

·         Increased max number of loops on background annulus star removal from 10 to 25 and reduced break threshold from 0.1 to 0.0001.

Karen,

Do you have a standalone installer for v3.1.0? I'm running into the same issue where I can't easily deploy the latest "self update" version. Another issue is that when using the internal update mechanism the Java app version no longer matches the Mac OS X application bundle version. This makes it difficult for us to report on which version is actually deployed in our labs.

Thanks,
- Matt
