<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have been unable to open Gatan .dm4 files with bioformats in Fiji with the latest version on Mac OS X 10.9.5 (screenshot of error message attached). Although DM4 doesn’t seem to be officially supported, it worked fine in previous versions (for example
the lifeline version) and the code seems to reference DM4_MAGIC_BYTES. I checked the GatanReader.java code for the working and non-working versions and there is a difference in the method that produces the error:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bio-formats Version 5.1.3 (non-working):</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div>else if (labelString.startsWith("xPos")) {<br>
final Double number = Double.valueOf(value);<br>
posX = new Length(number, UNITS.REFERENCEFRAME);<br>
}<br>
else if (labelString.startsWith("yPos")) {<br>
final Double number = Double.valueOf(value);<br>
posY = new Length(number, UNITS.REFERENCEFRAME);<br>
}</div>
<div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bio-formats Version 5.0.3 (working):</div>
<div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div> else if (labelString.startsWith("xPos")) {</div>
posX = Double.parseDouble(value);<br>
}<br>
else if (labelString.startsWith("yPos")) {<br>
posY = Double.parseDouble(value);<br>
}<br>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It looks as though the problem is with parsing the string read from the metadata? I’ve uploaded an example DM4 file named Example_MJ.dm4 to the QA server from my email address

<div>Cheers,</div>
