[ome-users] Query re the OMERO upgrade to OMERO 4.2.0 on a Mac server - images are completely dark

Will,
As my PNNL colleague Steve Wiley told me late on Friday (I see that Steve Cced the omero list, so you should have seen his email), we can enter new images into 4.2.0 on the Mac server and see them OK. The image problem is confined to the images that got carried over from the 4.1.1 install. Those are the completely dark images.
So - I'm thinking that the problem is not image display settings per se, but rather that 4.2.0 cannot find the old images to display. As I mentioned earlier, the previously entered images do get listed properly on-screen - but they show up as just black boxes. There are still entries for each old image in the db, but perhaps no path to the actual pixels?
Question: I'm assuming that the actual pixel image gets stored in a flat file in the directory
omero.data.dir/Pixels
which would be this directory on our Mac server:
/OMERO/Pixels
I also noticed that there are many entries in ../Pixels (all the old images?) which lack a corresponding file in
/OMERO/Files
That is, there is, for example, a file
/OMERO/Pixels/101 (and a file /OMERO/Thumbnails/101)
But no file
/OMERO/Files/101
Should not each ../Pixels file have a corresponding entry in ../Files?
Any thoughts on what to check in this regard?
Ron

Hi Ron,
I'm not sure what's going on - I would expect to see some error, but you're not seeing anything like that?
Are you actually getting the pixel data (with messed-up rendering
settings) or is all the pixel data zeros?
Try to use adjust the rendering settings, or use the measurement tool to see if you actually have pixel values there E.g. http://cvs.openmicroscopy.org.uk/snapshots/movies/omero-4-0/mov/
