[ome-users] Opera scanner Flex files: bfopen very slow

[Fethallah Benmansour]

Dear All,

I have tried to load one flex file using the matlab function bfopen.
If the flex file is isolated in one directory, then the function reads it
immediately.
However, if the file belongs to the plate directory with many flex files
near it, then the loading take about 1.5 hours (not to say forever).
In fact, it does the following steps:

#
Storing well indices
#
Looking for other .flex files
#
Looking for files that are in the same dataset as
Y:\SomeLocation\Meas_01(2014-01-09_17-02-50)\003003004.flex
#
Measurement files not found.
#
Making sure that all .flex files are valid
#
Grouping together files in the same dataset

...etc

The plate is huge indeed (about 20 Gigs of data).

Is there a way to force it to read only one specific file, without
extracting the metadata from the whole plate ?

Thanks into advance,
