Slice labels different in Stacks and Virtual Stacks?

[Jarek Sacha-2]

I have noticed that if I load images as a stack the labels are the same
as image file names (as expected). If I load the same images as a
virtual stack the slice names are based on (TIFF) meta-data saved in
images, in particular name of vendor software that produced the images.

The problem is that in virtual stack all slices have the same label
(since they were created by the same software). The analysis is using
slice label to report in the result table, so all results have the same
label.

It would be nice to have an option in Import Sequence options dialog to
specify which slice labeling variant (image name or meta-data) should be
used. Slice labels in Stacks and Virtual Stacks should be the same.

Thanks,

Jarek

This bug in the File>Import>Image Sequence command is fixed in the ImageJ 1.47e daily build.
