Feature request: option to export additional columns in omefile_2_analysisfolder about imctools HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,
The reason was to limit data/information duplication to a minimum:
Keeping metadata in a file like the panel.csv as compared to copy this information around makes it clearer that this is the single source of truth for channel metadata and makes it way easier eg to rename channel names (which is extremely common as there is no single standard how to annotate antibody channel names).

Also I do not see how this makes it technically would make It significantly easier to link target names to images for ilastik training or ImageJ, but maybe I am missing something,

Anyways, if you are convinced this is a good idea, feel free to add it.

Hey, agreed on data duplication. Especially since these files are generated for each exported .tiff (you could think about exporting them per .mcd since you want to enforce a consistent naming scheme anyway). I just find it a bit inconvenient to lookup the target name in the panel based on the metal order in the exported .csv since the entries are not ordered the same way unless you manually reorder the panel by metal tag. But yes, if it annoys me in the future, I'll add it ;)

Still an open issue?
