Layer names #57

Closed MosGeo closed 2 years ago

MosGeo commented 2 years ago

Use Case

When loading simple images without information attached, e.g. jpg, png, and so on, the layer name is just image:0. I would expect napari-aicsimageio to use the filename as a layer name if no metadata is found in the file.

Solution

Layer name should be taken from the metadata if it is available. If it is not available, filename (without extension) can be used.

This is the behavior of the default, builtins napari reader. I think it's a good idea! I'll see if it's something I can implement.

Edit: OK, so looking more carefully, the default behavior of is to use the scene name, but for images with just 1 scene that defaults to the image ID, which by OME standard is Image:#.
