[ome-users] Question about IMS format importing from metasystems slide scanners

[Jake Carroll]

Hi all.

We're having problems with the Omero importer (through insight). Effectively, we've been able to import several formats in testing thus far, but we've reached a stumbling block.

It seems that the importer hangs indefinitely with files that are generated with .IMS files (from Metasystems software) that runs our high throughout slide scanners. These IMS files are extremely large 2D multichannel XY images (although can be 3D as well). IMS files are typically used for 3D datasets so perhaps OMERO is not expecting them to contain the large amounts of 2D data?

It's unusual, because I don't think there is anything wrong with the header as some tools we use such as Bitplane's Imaris can open them without trouble, as can the LOCI bioformats plugin.

Any thoughts? Any logs you'd like me to look at, or any specific debug?

Thanks, all!
