Image parameters maintained upon changing dataset

Hi, When loading an h5 file with many datasets, when inspecting a 2D slice and then changing to a another dataset to compare, if the datasets are the same dimension, it would be useful if the image or stackview maintain the chosen slice. Thanks

PR #2701 provides part of it (i.e., it works for all views but the StackView which needs specific handling)

Any news on this? It seems that PR #2701 was merged, but this was not resolved. Viewing stacks of images is quite a useful application.

[t20100]

For image stacks, you can use the "Image" tab which keeps the selected slice when switching datasets. The "Image stack" tab which is also available does not supports this. Unless I missed something, the "Image stack" tab provides the same features as the "Image" one, so we'd better remove it (2 tabs providing the same feature is 1 too much).

I agree that the redundant tab should be removed as it can be confusing. On the other hand, I have noticed that for 3D volumes, the labels of the axes differ a bit between the two tabs. In the image tab you have {"", "x", "y"} while in the stack tab {"depth", "x", "y"}. The empty label in the image tab can be confusing as well. So, before you do away with the stack tab, please give the dimension a label different from "". May I suggest "z"? :)
