There are still problems with the series chooser dialog box beyond ~1200 on Linux, or ~3000 or so on Mac OS X, but since you are calling from a macro, it will hopefully work. This bugfix will be incorporated into the 4.2 release later this month.

<br>In general, please note that the Bio-Formats Importer plugin has been going through many changes lately, but we're nearing the end—I'll be sending another email to the OME and ImageJ lists with more details early next week.<br>

</blockquote><br>Unfortunately, yes, there are some issues with opening large numbers<br>of series using the Bio-Formats plugin for ImageJ. Basically, it<br>comes down to this Java bug:<br><br><a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5107980" target="_blank">http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5107980</a><br>
<br>However, we do have a work-around for this, so you should not be<br>seeing an exception. I did try to duplicate the problem using a 4000<br>series test dataset, but was able to see the series chooser window<br>without any error messages. This was with the very latest trunk build<br>
(r6348), so you may wish to try updating and see if the exception goes<br>away.<br><br>Unfortunately, even though the window displays, series beyond #456 are<br>not visible. I have filed a ticket for this problem on our Trac issue<br>
tracker. You have been CC'd on the ticket, and so will receive an<br>automated email with "LOCI Software" in the subject line when the<br>problem is fixed. In case anyone else is interested, the ticket can<br>
