Plugin: Make image title configurable
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.
This issue has been mentioned on Image.sc Forum. There might be relevant details there:
