Plugin: Make image title configurable

Open dgault opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Request was raised on forum thread: https://forum.image.sc/t/fiji-image-title-convention-for-multiscene-czi-with-bio-formats-importer/74619/4

The issue raised in relation to CZI multiscene files but more flexible title options would also be useful for other formats. The main requests from the user are listed below:

  • Use FileName as the basis for Title whether imported via script or manually.
  • Do away with the character limit entirely. Title should be the full FileName regardless of length.
  • For multiscene images, append SeriesNum (always static) instead of SeriesName (redundant, can change).

We currently have a configurable option for setting the slice label pattern within the Bio-Formats plugin, the Image Title however is hardcoded (https://github.com/ome/bioformats/blob/develop/components/bio-formats-plugins/src/loci/plugins/in/ImagePlusReader.java#L549). Having a similar configuration for the Image Title would help to solve most of these issues, with the possibility of also enabling increased length for the title.
