Description

Kristin Riching writes:

I have a dataset that I collected on the Prairie Confocal that contains 5 different x-y fields each containing a z-stack and time series. I would like to be able to open 5 hyperstacks in Fiji that correspond to each field, but I'm not sure if Bioformats currently supports this, unless I am not checking the appropriate checkboxes. Right now I am getting one hyperstack that cycles through each x-y field at every time point.

The issue is that AFAICT, the Prairie file format makes no distinction between stage positions and time points, referring to both as "Sequences." To differentiate them, we must study the stage position coordinates themselves and infer the relationship.

Work was begun on this feature on the  prairie-fixes branch ( PR #217). The disentanglement logic is in place, which divides the dataset properly, but the actual reader does not yet respect that division.

This bug is now fixed in the prairie-fixes branch. But since the changes are expansive, we are still verifying that all of our Prairie test data works as expected. Once we are sure everything still works, we will update Fiji and close this ticket.
