The minimal-ij1-plugin's main method sets the plugins.dir prior to launching ImageJ (see footnote [1] below for an explanation why), using some special code: https://github.com/imagej/minimal-ij1-plugin/blob/06655b85992b1908d3567f6f177da2c7dad40420/src/main/java/Process_Pixels.java#L176 Your postcards plugin removed that code: https://github.com/ad1054/Postcards/blob/6cdff5e8d98e6f81ebb01919709b128400de0f1e/src/main/java/A_Postcard.java#L33 Add it back, and things may work better for you. Regards, Curtis [1] For plugins to be recognized by ImageJ1, the "plugins.dir" system property must point to the folder containing your plugins. And there can only be one such folder. Or, if plugins.dir is unset, then ImageJ looks in the "plugins" subfolder of the current working directory by default. The main method of minimal-ij1-plugin sets plugins.dir for you, for convenience.
