[ome-users] 2GB image file size limit in 32-bit OME ?

[Othmar Korn]

Hi Curtis,

Thanks for alerting me to the 2.6.1 release.  I see a CVS version there, I 
will give it a go and see what happens.  I have been using BioFormats and 
have had success with it, so glad to see the intergration there with OME.

And thanks to all who responded to my query, your help is much 
appreciated!

Cheers,
Othmar

Hi Othmar,

I am not sure what the cause of such limitations is, but the impending
release of OME 2.6.1 uses Bio-Formats to import data rather than the
old-school importers written in Perl, and Bio-Formats supports files
larger than 2 GB in size. So it's possible this problem will go away
with the 2.6.1 release (I haven't tested it). Perhaps one of the
Baltimore developers can comment further.

Your best bet is probably just to give it a try and see what happens. ;-)
