[ome-users] Some wish-list items for OME annotation interface

[Graham Klyne]

I had a meeting this morning to hand over the current state of OME 
deployment to our drosophila research team, and a few points came out 
that I thought I'd pass on while they're fresh in my mind:

1. "Current dataset" default for image imports.  I'm thinking this could 
apply having located displayed a dataset at the time an import images 
command is executed.

2. Direct import of single image from directory listing, with option to 
go straight to image annotation when the import is completed.

3. I previously mentioned an "Optivar" lens that isn't covered by the 
current instrument description.  Our microscope setup also has a "Camera 
reduction lens" option that is in the C-mount adapter for the video 
camera, and allows the camera a wider field of view of the microscope 
image, without affecting what is seen through the eyepieces.  We would 
like to be able to record the magnification of this lens (current 
optionhs are x1 (no reduction) and 0.5x (2x reduction).

4. I notice that newlines are stripped out in annotations entered as 
values for "string" type fields in new semantic types.  I think newlines 
entered in the input form should be preserved.
