Opening an image sequence higher than 100 files

[Sylvain Cantaloube]

Hello,

When i open an Image Sequence (file>import>Image Sequence) of more than 100 files (e.g. image1.ome,...,image10.ome,...image200.ome), ImageJ ranks the stacks in a bad order.
Even so, i check Sort Names Numerically, ImageJ ranks the files in a stack in a wrong way. He put the files tagged from 10 to 99 after the files tagged from 100 to 999 (e.g. image1.ome,...image9.ome,image100.ome,...image691.ome,image10.ome,...image99.ome)
Is it a bug ? Is there a solution ?

Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

Have you tried using the Bio-Formats Importer with option "Group files with
similar names" to detect the numbering?

Sylvain,

a very easy work-around would be to group the files in separate folders,
one for 0-9, one for 10-99 and the last from 100-999. Then, open the
files as you did (Image Sequence) and perform "Concatenate Stacks".

I know it might not be the most convenient solution....but it should
work at least.

Dear,

I always solve the problem by naming my images in this way image1001.jpg,
image1002.jpg, ...
of course if you have more than 1000 images you start at 10000.
this seems to work quite well for me.

Best Regards / Cordialement / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
