Description Willisa Liou 2015-08-03 21:19:56 CDT 
I follow the instruction of imagej online http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/javascript.html
and practice the always on top instructions. 
 it says "To create an "Always on Top" command, save this script in the plugins folder as "AlwaysOnTop.js", 
It should be Always_On_Top.js What does this _ do to make it work? how many_ should be in the file name and where should it be?  anywhere, at least one?
Although I have fixed the file name, it will not run until I execute install plug in, and later has to run help > refresh manus. Your online instruction is in controdict to the pdf version of the user guide.

I run fiji, there are many plugins in the plugin folder, however, not all the plugins are shown on the main menu under Plugins, eg. extended_depth_field. Why is it and how to run it?

For scripts, it's sufficient to contain at least one underscore (_) in the file name. See http://fiji.sc/Scripting_Help#Creating_scripts_and_using_.22refresh_scripts.22

Plugins (i.e. .jar files) usually contain a plugins.config file that defines their menu path, so it doesn't matter at what position in the ./plugins/ folder or sub-folders the file is located. See http://fiji.sc/Frequently_Asked_Questions#My_plugin_runs_fine_in_the_Script_Editor.2C_but_it_does_not_show_up_in_the_menus_when_I_install_it._What.27s_wrong.3F


From your other bug report (#1133), it seems that you were able to run Always_on_top.js, so I'm closing this bug.
