+# A customized version of the Time_Stamper (v2.1.1) plugin for ImageJ/Fiji
+This plugin allows you to add timestamps to your image stacks.　　
 
+## New Features
+- **Interactive Positioning**: Users can specify where the timestamp is placed by simply clicking on the image.  
+- **UI customization**: Font settings (family, style, size) and colors can be customized directly from the dialog.  
+- **Custom Time Formatting**: You can define a custom time format using placeholders:
+  - Example: `36min20sec` using `${mm}min${ss}sec`
+  - Example: `1d14hr36min20sec` using `${d}d${hh}hr${mm}min${ss}sec`
+  - Example: `1:14:36:20` using `${d}:${hh}:${mm}:${ss}`
+  * *Note: Selecting the correct `Time Unit` (Seconds, Minutes, Hours) is required to parse the data precisely.*
+  * *Priority of time formats: `Custom Format` > `'00:00' format` > `Suffix`  If a custom format pattern is specified, it takes the highest priority, overriding the `'00:00' format` checkbox and any defined `Suffix`.*   
+- **Non-destructive Processing**: (Recommended) Checking the `Create New Window` box will generate timestamps on a duplicate window, leaving the original stack unmodified.
+
+## Requirements
+ImageJ 1.54g or later (Fiji is recommended).  
+
+## License  
+GPLv3+ according to the [original](https://imagej.net/plugins/time-stamper) version.  
+
+## Installation  
+Place the `Time_Stamper-2.1.1.jar` file in the `plugins` folder of Fiji or ImageJ (replacing the original version if it exists). Alternatively, you can compile the source code yourself.
+
+## Release Note
+2026.06.18  beta released.  
+2026.06.19 v2.1.1 released: added the function "Create New Window" when timestamps are generated, which keeps the original images.
