Subject: Question for areaDetector overlay and file plugin

Dear all,

I have some quick questions regarding areaDetector plugins:

1. Overlay plugin: If I use a text label I can change the font based on 4
different options. Is there a way to scale the size in addition to that? For
our images, the label is very small.
     1a. If not, I would need to modify the font selection part in the
overlay module to provide larger font sizes? Is that something which is
reasonable to do? Helpful for any hints of how to approach this

2. File plugin: For the filename (:FileName) or file name format
(*:FileTemplate), can I somehow use time-format variables ("%Y-%m-%d") to
add the current date to the file name?
    2a. If not, I would probably create a new "save" button, which would
re-write the filename based on the current date? Or are there other options?


Cheers
eddy
