How to determine the Image Name

helga_mayr

Hi all,

I wanted to know if I can determine how the name of an image is displayed on its tab. So in my case it is the full file name including extension. But I have seen it without extension for other users.

I need to know this because I am referencing ThisApplication.ActiveImage.Name in my script and I realized that it depends on how the user has set the appearance.

I appreciate any help!

Best regards,

Helga

Hi Helga,

There are different objects based on McImage and names may look different. The name in the tab is McWindow.Caption. You can check all of them using this macro:

    Public Sub Test1
        Debug.Print "Image Name ="  & ThisApplication.ActiveImage.Name
        Debug.Print "Image Display Name ="  & ThisApplication.ActiveImage.DisplayName
        Debug.Print "Document Display Name ="  & ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DisplayName
        Debug.Print "Window Display Name ="  & ThisApplication.ActiveWindow.Caption
    End Sub

The output may look like this:

Image Name =SPOTS_TIF0

Image Display Name =SPOTS.TIF

Document Display Name =SPOTS.TIF

Window Display Name =SPOTS.TIF:2 

So, be aware that the Window Caption can be different from Image.Name.

Regarding the display of file extension in the tab: it depends on Windows Explorer Property "Hide Extensions for known file types":

Yuri, Thank you. That is interesting info. Haven't been aware of the differences and especially not about the folder properties that are reflected in Image Pro.

Best regards,
