Issue setting save directory for micro magellan #789

Open jrtage opened 3 months ago

jrtage commented 3 months ago

when calling 'set_saving_dir()' via pycromanager, it fails to set the saving directory. If there is a directory already populated in micro magellan's saving directory field, it seems to ignore the 'set_saving_dir()' method and uses whatever is already populated in the aforementioned field. If there is no directory path in the saving directory field, then calling this method causes micro manager to throw an error when the acquisition starts, due to there being no directory set. The method itself does not give any error output though, it simply does not function

Can you figure out when this bug might have been introduced? Here is the history of changes: https://github.com/micro-manager/micro-manager/commits/main/plugins/Magellan/src/main/java/org/micromanager/magellan

Was it present in nightly builds from a year ago?
