Thanks very much,
after turning off the access control I can see them but in some images I
can't see the thumb. There's only a point. Could it be that there is a
problem importing  more pictures in one OME XML.
I also recognized that there is no convertion back from OME-XML to the
original image file. Is something planned in this way?
