[ome-users] import of single Zeiss LSM files

[Will Moore]

Hi Martin,

  I discussed this with Melissa today and we thought of a possible  
solution.
- If mdb is present, and you choose the mdb file, then import all the  
images in the file
- If you choose an LSM file, only import the LSM itself, even if the  
mdb is present and includes other LSMs.

The only caveat of this approach is that it might confuse users who  
are expecting all the LSMs from an mdb to be imported - even when  
selecting a single image.
But I think most users could get used to the proposed change in  
behavior pretty easily.

What do you think?

  Cheers,

   Will.
