Bug: Imported flex plates are not linked to a screen

[rleigh]

Open import window (either using the toolbar or right-clicking on a screen)
Select test_images_good/flex
Add
Choose a pre-existing screen if needed (or create a new one)
Import
The imported plate will not be linked to the screen you selected; it will be orphaned at the top level.

Selecting test_images_good/flex/003003000.flex alone results in a correctly-linked plate. Maybe the presence of a plate1.ome.tiff in the same directory (which is imported as an orphaned image) is the reason for this misbehaviour. While leaving any non-plate imports orphaned is understandable, silently failing to link the plates to the selected screen is not expected.

Problem already in 4.4.5, nothing new

To test:

• Create a folder: Add with a flex file and single file e.g. jpeg.
• Select the folder and select a screen to import the data into, add it to the import queue.
• the flex file should be linked to the screen.The image orphan

All seems good to me. Tried adding multiple images and plates to same import set list and the plates went in the target screen and the images were orphaned. Selecting a project & dataset for the image allows for the images to go in to the project/dataset and the plate in the screen.

(In [0783dda94e755d857bbf970fdb33a0d4989d0151/ome.git] on branch develop) Fix import of plate and link to screen (see #10322)

The problem only occurs when a folder is selected and the
folder contains a plate and a non plate file.
