Data not saving correctly

[swmercer34]

The issue I am having is with saving an image to an allocated directory. As you can see in the screenshot, I set up the acquisition to save to the directory, however all I end up with is a weird test image with no data and also nothing is saved to the allocated file. Has anyone come across this issue before? Is there anything anyone can suggest?

Hi @swmercer34, thanks for opening this issue.

Did you try to remove the spaces in the directory path (e.g. .../Steve_test_data)? I'm not sure what it can be the cause, I just run some test and I did not encounter any issue.

Upgrading the the data-saving functionality in napari-micromanager has been on our to-do-list and hopefully we will soon release an updated version where we use proper writers (we currently have an open PR specifically for that).

Hi @swmercer34, thanks @fdrgsp.

Yeah, we're currently struggling to reproduce this. so we're going to need a bit more information. I'll make this information easier to gather in an upcoming PR, but for now, could you run the following commands and paste the output here?

python --version
mmcore --version
pip list

and, if possible, include your micro-manager config file so we can see which devices you might be using
thanks!

Also, as @fdrgsp mentioned, the file-saving logic in napari-micromanager is lagging behind the activity in the lower level pymmcore-plus library... which now has much improved saving handlers for ome-tiff, ome-zarr, and tiff sequences. We haven't yet plugged it into napari-micromanager though, but changes and improvements are coming soon
