[ome-users] bio-formats importer bug

Wed Jul 19 15:11:42 BST 2017

Hi Vytas,

That read time certainly doesn’t seem normal. We had also received a separate report yesterday of a file with a long read time.
I had created a card on the Bio-Formats Trello inbox to investigate that issue and I will also link this thread topic to it incase the behaviour is related:
https://trello.com/c/tjWeeyXb/161-tiff-long-delayed-load-time

If you had a smaller file (<2GB) which displayed the same behaviour would you be able to upload it for testing:
https://www.openmicroscopy.org/qa2/qa/upload/

With Thanks,
David Gault

Thanks for looking at the issue.

I can confirm that the crash no longer occurs if I nest the files 2 folders up from root. However, FIJI has been trying to read a 3.5GB test file for now over 40 MINUTES and is now only at "reading plane 3/3".  Ifranview64 AND windows picture viewer app both can open the same file in about 15 SECONDS. Something is still wrong....

best regards,

Vytas

Hi Curtis and Vytas,

This error is seen when attempting to open a file from the root directory. While Bio-Formats attempts to identify the format type some of the readers will search for associated files in parent folders. This error is then seen if those locations do not exist. Moving the files up from the root directory (at least 2 levels) should provide a work around to enable you to open the files normally.

This is a scenario which should be handled better without an exception being thrown. I have created a card on the Bio-Formats Trello inbox to further investigate a long term fix.

With Thanks,
David Gault

Hi,

Below is a Bio-Formats bug report from Vytas Bindokas (CCed).

I also uploaded the sample image ('AbI 1-200 1to4_Caption.tif') to the OME QA system on his behalf.

Regards,
Curtis

Hello Curtis,

I'm sure you're busy, so can you please forward to LOCI dev team? [GUI reporter tool still not working]

Back in March we were able to open automated scanner TIF exports using bio-formats, however recent attempts result in red ink:

I've uploaded a sample via the Help UI;

</body></html>

I can open this file in IrafanView and resave it there-- that resave opens normally in fiji.  It's a work-around, but time and space consuming.

BEST REGARDS!~

Vytas
