Hi Alicia,

you are right, the StackWriter plugin uses
  ImageStack.getShortSliceLabel
which truncates long slice labels to 60 characters.
You could write a short macro that loops over the slices and uses
  getMetadata("Label")
to retrieve the full slice labels. Unfortunately, this won't be as
comfortable as the StackWriter, e.g. it will be much more difficult to ask
the user in advance if it would overwrite a file.
