Fiji is automatically updating and just updated Loci bioformats to vers. 4.4.9-DEV rev 34f3393, built 7 May 13. Imagej is vers. 1.47q. The problem I describe is reproducible under Windows and iOS.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Before the update different stacks of 4C tile scans were each showing as individual images (series) on the second page of the bio-formats plugin (Choose series). To import the whole stack I had to only select one series. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Since the most recent update all tiles of the tile scan show as individual series, meaning to import the whole stack I have to mark and import all individual images, which results in the import of dozens of individual images, not one single stack. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This upsets a macro I have just written that relies on the import of a stack of tiles, not many separate tiles.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Question: Is this a bug of the latest version of bioformats and will be fixed at some stage, or is this a new feature that will stay permanently?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kai<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Dr. Kai-Michael Toellner<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Senior Research Fellow<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>School of Immunity and Infection<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Institute for Biomedical Research (IBR) room 432<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Medical School<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>University of Birmingham<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Birmingham B15 2TT<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>United Kingdom<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Tel: +44 121 41 58687<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>FAX: +44 121 41 43599</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
