Invalid open command when using macro recorder

[hinerm]

When I run the Macro recorder (Plugins > Macros > Record...) and then File > Open... something I get this recorded:

run("Select path", "inputfile=[path\to\image]");
...

The "Select path" seems to be a SCIFIO-ization but happens whether or not Edit > Options > ImageJ2 > SCIFIO is enabled.

In any case, this does not run in an IJM macro. It should just be open("image").

I noticed this as well. When recording macro, the command should be:

open("/path/to/image.tif");

or when recording JavaScript:

imp = IJ.openImage("/path/to/image.tif");

The issue is probably caused by this code:

imagej-legacy/src/main/java/net/imagej/legacy/plugin/DefaultLegacyOpener.java

Lines 136 to 143 in f678a54

	// Display a file chooser dialog for the user to select a path.
	// This dialog replaces the original ImageJ's file chooser, which
	// normally happens later in the case of the File > Open code path.
	final CommandInfo command = commandService.getCommand(GetPath.class);
	final String[] selectedPath = new String[1];
	final Future<Module> result =
	moduleService.run(command, true, "path", selectedPath);
	final Module module = moduleService.waitFor(result);

Hi @ctrueden and @hinerm,

Any news on this topic?
Today @rharkes and I gave a IJ macro course using fresh Fiji installations and ran into the same issue.

If you Drag&Drop a file it is recorded correctly as open("[path\to\image]");

Thanks!
