| − | MIPAV allows you to keep a history of all of the actions-the algorithms and utilities-that you perform on images. The history includes the specific parameters that were set for the action. In addition, if you save the images as XML files, the history of actions and their parameters appears in the dataset attributes section near the beginning of the MIPAV header file (the XML file). Each action appears between the <HISTORY> and <br /></HISTORY> tags. | + | MIPAV allows you to keep a history of all of the actions-the algorithms and utilities-that you perform on images.

If you choose <span style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">'''<font color="#000000">New image</font>'''</span> and want to see the actions performed on that image, you must select <span style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">'''<font color="#000000">Image > Attributes > Edit Attributes</font>'''</span> to open an Image Attributes dialog box for the new image. If, however, you select <span style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">'''<font color="#000000">Replace image</font>'''</span>, the History page on the Image Attributes dialog box for the original image displays the actions.

Perform an action such as <span style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">'''<font color="#000000">Utilities > Image Margins</font>'''</span>, mark <span style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">'''<font color="#000000">New image</font>'''</span> in the dialog box, and then click <span style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">'''<font color="#000000">OK</font>'''</span>.

MIPAV has four toolbars, which you can choose to display or hide at any time an image is open.
MIPAV allows you to keep a history of all of the actions-the algorithms and utilities-that you perform on images. The history includes the specific parameters that were set for the action. In addition, if you save the images as XML files, the history of actions and their parameters appears in in XMP file.
MIPAV ordinarily does not use the Macintosh standard file selector; instead, it shows a more traditionally UNIX way of looking at the file system on the Apple Macintosh.
When you using MIPAV, chances are that you are working with the same type of files every day or perhaps for a certain period of time. For example, suppose you normally work with medical files (files whose extensions are .dcm, .xml, .ima, .img, .mnc, .sig, .head, etc.). In this situation, when opening or saving images, you want to see only the medical files, not other file types. One of the ways of customizing MIPAV is the ability to show only specific types of files by default. See also: Image files supported by MIPAV.
