Supersedes #2465.
This section of code is also relevant to #2179.
As described in this comment, the usage resulting in a segfault is likely not that intended. But further, attempting to save to
out-[].png
from a 1 x 128 x 128 image could (theoretically at least) yield either a single 128 x 128 image (effectively "ignoring" the square-bracket syntax), or, more faithfully, 128 different 1 x 128 images. Presence of unity axes is already used within the PNG handling to identify the slice orientation to use for PNG files.For now, this comment instead catches the likely erroneous but also potentially ambiguous usage and errors out, rather than segfaulting. Later, hopefully for
3.1.0
, I'll try to restructure the relevant code in order to address #2179, and hopefully if the code is better structured the right solution in this instance will fall out.
