Label Stacks skipping time steps

[Rafael Buono]

Dear list,

I am trying to label a time course using Label Stacks (Image>Stacks>Label...) and running into the same trouble again and again. It skips every other time point, resulting in having the same time point for two consecutive frames. This makes, for example, a time series of 205min to be labelled as being of 100min.

I see the same behavior with different files and on two independent computers, both running FIJI with imageJ 1.51a and freshly updated.

Am I missing an option while setting things up with Label Stacks or does this sound like a bug?

Cheers,

Rafael

Dear Rafael,

Not sure, I don't seem to see this problem in the sample image Mitosis. If you check the image properties under Image > Properties... are these correct?

Dear Kees,

I have tried both with and without the frame interval in image properties being correct and got the same result.
The Mitosis sample image works fine in my system.

Dear Rafael,

Any change you can make a small stack available to see what the problem is?

Hi Kees,

Yes.
The stacks are large, so I will just do an extreme crop of one of them.
How do I make it available? Through Help>Upload Sample Image?

Best,

Hi Rafael,

You can also make a substack (Image > Stacks > Tools > Make Substack.. )

Maybe you have access to a server or can post your image on the web and send a link to the mailing list.

Hi Kees,

Here is a link to it:
https://floppy.psb.ugent.be/public.php?service=files&t=4e84133149a330218f9148e49d9fd185

On this one the label was getting stuck in time zero throughout the stack.
Any clues as to what could be causing this?

Best,

Rafael

Hi Rafael,

I am afraid I cannot reproduce the problem. The image you made available gives me correctly all time points.

Greetings, Rafael & Kees,

In my hands the labels get “stuck” on 00:00:00 if the overlay is used, but they are correct if drawn onto the image.

Below is a macro (save it as an .ijm file) that reproduces the problem on my system, using the file that Rafael provided.

So if others can reproduce this, I think there may be a bug in the Stack Labeler.


————————————————————————

// open the example image "label issue-1.tif" then run the macro

run("Duplicate...", "duplicate");
selectWindow("label issue-1.tif");
run("Label...", "format=00:00:00 starting=0 interval=300 x=5 y=20 font=18 text=[] range=1-5");
rename("no overlay.tif");
selectWindow("label issue-2.tif");
run("Label...", "format=00:00:00 starting=0 interval=300 x=5 y=20 font=18 text=[] range=1-5 use");
rename("overlay.tif”);

Dear Kees and Theresa,

Thank you for the replies and the time spent with this.
I was about to post the macro line for what I was doing:

run("Label...", "format=0 starting=0 interval=5 x=5 y=20 font=18 text=min range=1-5 use");

I have been indeed using the overlay option. If I don't use it, the label works fine. This is true for the example stack I sent and for other stacks.
Should I submit a bug report for this? The Bug Submitter is temporarily unavailable. How can I submit a bug report?

Best,

Rafael

Hi Rafael,

> The Bug Submitter is temporarily unavailable. How can I submit a bug
report?

Since this is a potential bug in core ImageJ 1.x, this email thread is
probably sufficient.

Or if you want to submit a patch, you could file a PR for Wayne's perusal
at https://github.com/imagej/imagej1/pulls.
