| − | 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.<br />
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The File Filter Default box on the MIPAV Options dialog box allows you to choose which types of files should be shown in the Files of type box in the Open Image and Save Image as dialog boxes.

| − | === Adding shortcuts ===
| |
| − | MIPAV allows you to create shortcuts using the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys plus the alphanumeric key of your choice. Shortcuts provide a quick way for you to perform a command on a menu or a command on one of the toolbars. <br />
| |
| − | '''Example:''' Suppose you frequently clone images. Rather than taking the time to select Utilities > Clone, you may find it easier and faster to simply press Ctrl C, the keys you assigned to the shortcut.<br />
| |
| − | '''To add shortcut keys'''<br />
| |
| − | 1 Select Help > Shortcut editor. The Shortcuts dialog box opens.<br />
| |
| − | 2 Click Add. The New Shortcut dialog box opens. See Figure 54-1.<br />
| |
| − | 3 Select Ctrl, Alt, or Shift or any combination of these check boxes. You can select only one of these check boxes, or you can select any combination of these check boxes. Valid selections can include only Ctrl, only Alt, or only Shift, or you can select Ctrl and Alt, Ctrl and Shift, Alt and Shift, or all three of the check boxes. See Figure 54-2.<br />
| |
| − | 4 Type an alphanumeric character in Character, and then press OK.<br /><
| |
| − | 5 A message appears directing you to select a command on a menu or in a toolbar. See Figure 54-3. Press OK again. The message disappears.<br />
| |
| − | 6 Select a toolbar icon or select a command on a menu in the MIPAV window to which you want to assign this shortcut. A message appears indicating that the shortcut was successfully created. See Figure 54-4.<br />
| |
| − | 7 Click OK. The message disappears, and the shortcut appears on the Shortcuts dialog box.<br />

| |
| − | 3 Click Remove. MIPAV removes the shortcut, and the shortcut disappears from the list of shortcuts in the Shortcuts dialog box.<br />
| |

| − | === Developing and using plug-in programs ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A''plug-in'' program allows you to add customized functionality to MIPAV. Before you create a plug-in, you should have a strong understanding of the underlying structure of MIPAV's software design and data structure. Because plug-ins are written in Java, you should also have a basic understanding of that programming language. After you create the plug-in, you must then install it. Once it is installed, you can access it from the Plug-Ins menu in the main MIPAV window. Plug-ins are addressed in Chapter 12, "Developing Plug-in Programs", in the ''MIPAV User's Guide''.<br />
