Hi Gerald,

 If you are using an up-to-date Fiji, then you have the latest ImageJ2
<http://developer.imagej.net/2014/06/04/imagej-200-release-candidate>
installed. When you started Fiji after updating, it should have displayed a
"Welcome to ImageJ2" message, and given you an option right away to use
SCIFIO or not for typical image opening - please let me know if these
didn't show up!

 Drag and drop is using ImageJ 1.x right now to perform the opening process
(something that will actually change for drag and dropped images in the
next release) and File > Open uses the ImageJ2 framework - thus the
different display. Not having the calibration information in the
ImageJ2-opened dataset was definitely an oversight, so I filed an issue
<https://github.com/imagej/imagej-legacy/issues/33> and hope to resolve it
quickly. This is exactly why we distributed our release candidate, to get
feedback from users and find the details that we missed.

 In the mean time, if you want to get the old behavior again you can run
"Edit > Options > ImageJ2" and toggle the "Use SCIFIO when opening files"
option. When that option is disabled, you can still use ImageJ2/SCIFIO for
opening files via the "File > Import > Image..." command (which offers
broader file format support, and will automatically use Bio-Formats for
proprietary image formats).

Thank you for testing ImageJ2 and providing feedback!
- Mark
