Hi Mike, Jimmy, Kevin and everyone,

Thanks for getting back to me (via private mail) with your findings
regarding the new PrairieView 5.2 file format reader. I am replying to the
public thread to keep others in the loop regarding this work.
== Reading the files as a PrairieView dataset ==
It is important to note that if you select the .xml or .env file, the
dataset will be detected as "Prairie TIFF" format, whereas if you select
one of the .ome.tif files, it will be detected as "OME-TIFF" format.
Completely separate reader code is used in each case. The recent changes I
made to the PrairieReader [3] only affect the former case.
In short: please select the .xml or .env file if you wish to use the
Bio-Formats Prairie TIFF reader, rather than the OME-TIFF reader.
== SamplesPerPixel issue when reading as OME-TIFF ==

Actually, SamplesPerPixel needs to be set to 1 for the dataset you sent.
>From the OME-XML schema documentation [1]:
The number of samples the detector takes to form each pixel value.
[units:none] Note: This is not the same as "Frame Averaging" - see
Integration in DetectorSettings
SamplesPerPixel is the actual number of recorded sample values per pixel.
If you use the "showinf" Bio-Formats command line tool on the dataset, the
following warning is shown:
SamplesPerPixel mismatch: OME=5, TIFF=1
This indicates that the OME-XML indicates SamplesPerPixel=5, but the TIFF
file only contains 1 sample value per pixel (as indicated by the IFD's
SamplesPerPixel directory entry—which in this case is absent and hence
defaults to 1 according to page 39 of the TIFF specification [2]).
All of that said: I think it is indeed a bug in the Bio-Formats OME-TIFF
reader that the first series is marked with "SizeC=1" but subsequent ones
are "SizeC=5 (effectively 1)". I will investigate if/how we can fix that on
our end.
== Failure to extract (X, Y, Z) stage positions ==

Yes, there was a bug! Fixed now:
https://github.com/ctrueden/bioformats/commit/ffa5e3071b2083cc0385032b6fdbcf40b3157271
== Spectral datasets ==
Next on my list is to finish adding support for spectral datasets. Will
keep everyone posted, and file a PR as soon as it is ready.
Regards,
Curtis
