I think the MDI functionality is a useful option to have, but even
without that it serves as a way to see if ImageJ can converted be to use
Swing. JInternalFrames can be made JFrames with relative ease and the
MDI interface could be an option. There are still a few problems with
converting TextWindows and the Editor etc. that need to be sorted out,
but ultimately switching to Swing is a good idea, especially with the
upcoming java 6.0.

Yep, I also think MDI for ImageJ would not be really useful, yet I think
having the main window come on top too, when any of its windows has the
focus
would be very useful (I remember that was already discussed some messages
ago, I also find myself often in the position: "Where the "§$$% has the
ImageJ main window gone?")
Vice versa (both of these optione could be user selectable), immediatelly
hiding all children windows when the Imagej main window becomes hidden
would be IMHO very useful too!

Anyone interested in the development of a version of ImageJ that uses a
single Swing desktop pane for all windows.
Damien,
What is the advantage of having a single pane?
My past experience with another imaging programme (the defunct Optimas) was
that only 1 pane with everything inside was a bit of a pain rather than a
plus, but there must be some advantages that I haven't thought about.
Cheers,
Gabriel
