You can only see data of a given group at a time. You can switch  
between groups when you log in or when you are already log in.

The clients do not offer such view i.e. all the images regardless of  
the group context.

You will be able to see the images if the collaborative group is your  
"default" group i.e. when you log in using OMERO.web or OMERO.insight  
make sure that the collaborative group is the one you are logged into.

You can use the plugin for any images even if the archived button is  
not selected. The plugin uses Bio-Formats to read the data and assumes  
that you already have it i.e. you must have  "loci_tools.jar" in  
ImageJ/plugins.

Improving  the plugin is something that we will be working on in the  
coming months to offer much more functionalities.
