Hi Melissa,

sorry as well for taking even longer. I was busy with other things and 
did not have access to the Omero server in South Africa to run my tests.

I was able to import your test tiff file just fine. It does indeed 
import into a new screen and shows up as expected, well almost :-)

As a matter of fact it does show up twice when imported. Firstly in the 
screen indicated as target by me ("test") but a second screen is 
generated automatically ("new004"). Both screens did not exist before 
and have the same time-stamp. This would result in data duplication 
which on larger data-sets would be annoying...

new004 of course is the screen specified in the OME-XML header in the 
test file. If I specify "new004" as the target screen in the importer 
GUI the screen is created twice as well. Only if I do not indicate a 
target screen at all in the importer GUI, a single new004 screen is 
created. Not very intuitive and/or user friendly... but I can live with 
it as I plan to assemble a complete OME-XML header structure before 
importing anyway...

I will try to craft me screen layout around the OME-XML header in your 
test file to achieve the import of my files and keep you posted on how I 
proceed.

Thanks for your support and help!

Best
Juergen
