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

[Othmar Korn]

Greetings all,

I'm hoping someone can answer a couple of questions for me in regards to 
maximum supported image file sizes for OME in 32-bit systems.

1. The page here: 
http://www.openmicroscopy.org.uk/api/omeis/limitations.html  says that 
2GB+ images are not "handled correctly" in 32-bit systems.. is that 
correct?  What does that actually mean, in practical terms?

2. If I'm forced to use a 32-bit system, any ideas on how I might go about 
importing existing images that are larger than 2GB?  I'm hoping there's a 
solution that doesn't involve going back and splitting image stacks 
manually.

Many thanks,
Othmar
