We'd appreciate feedback on this point-- is this a major priority for  
the community?  We know ImageJ is in heavy use, and therefore are  
considering devoting resources to this.  Does the ImageJ community  
want this?

When you import the file, you will see a check box at the bottom of  
the dialog where you specify the Project and Dataset for the incoming  
image, asking if you want to archive the original image.  If you  
click this, the original file will be uploaded as well, and will be  
available for download inside the OMERO.insight DataManager.  See the  
OMERO.importer movie at http://openmicroscopy.org/howto/ for more  
info on importing data.

Note that we have a known bug-- the Download button in OMERO.insight  
does not go gray when there is no original file uploaded.  This  
requires some  server-side updates that we need to do...

As always, thanks for your feedback and support.

Cheers,

Jason
