Thanks for this - I've tried to address the main need in #2087 so I'll close the PR, but do let me know if you find problems with the alternative way of doing things. |

Hello,
The request for this feature was made on https://forum.image.sc/t/qupath-metadata/80733
This implementation enables the "Populate" button in the "Export Measurements" dialog to add user defined metadata entries to the "Columns to include (optional)" set and lets the user choose exactly which relevant metadata entries they want to add.
To avoid potential naming collisions and distinguish metadata entries from other QuPath columns, the suffix " (metadata)" is added to the displayed names and also columns in the exported file header.
In
MeasurementExporter.addRows(), presence of " (metadata)" in a column name is used for triggering the addition of a metadata value instead of a measurement.I haven't looked at implementing this in
QPEx.saveMeasurements()yet and my implementation is not particularly clever...Basically, just a first draft to (maybe) get the ball rolling.
Kind regards,
Egor
