I will also report this to BD, but my guess is that the ImageJ development community is more flexible than BD. Unfortunately, I have to rely upon their software to analyze my data. AttoVision is currently in beta stadium at best and it feels as if it is developed by engineers who never have to use their own software.
Anyway, it would be nice to have these two independent feature requests implemented in ImageJ. Coding-wise this should be really easy.
