Thanks, this works as advertised.
However, I found a case where image names are not shown as subtitles:
If the label is something else than "Software: ... " in the example,
then the label is applied as subtitle for the virtual stack.
In the below macro, only the line with strLabel = "... is different from my previous example.
The behaviour is now the same in 1.52c and 1.52m07.
Demo macro:
------------------------------
run("Close All");
outDir = getDirectory("temp") + "MyImageFolder/";
if (!File.isDirectory(outDir)) File.makeDirectory(outDir);
run("Bridge (174K)");
strLabel = "Version: 123a";
setMetadata("Info", strLabel);
saveAs("Tiff", outDir + "bridge_001.tif");
saveAs("Tiff", outDir + "bridge_002.tif");
saveAs("Tiff", outDir + "bridge_003.tif");
saveAs("Tiff", outDir + "bridge_004.tif");
saveAs("Tiff", outDir + "bridge_005.tif");
run("Close All");
run("Image Sequence...", "open=&outDir file=bridge sort");
run("Image Sequence...", "open=&outDir file=bridge sort use");
run("Tile");
//1.52c and 1.52m07:
//filename is used as subtitle in normal stack,
//label is used as subtitle in virtual stack

This 1.52d regression is fixed in the latest image daily build (1.52m7).
