[ome-devel] Fwd: [IDR Project] Zegami / IDR

Tue Jun 28 04:45:18 BST 2016

Hi Eleanor,

This is great. I just upgraded to 5.2.4 and indeed with the 
OMERO_DEV_PLUGINS flag all the metadata functionality shows up. Lots of 
great functionality, some of which still very mysterious to me but 
clearly the tools needed for this. I'll get going with it and will report.

Thank you for all the explanations and directions.
Cheers,
- Damir
