[ome-users] win7/win10 importer: cannot select tif in hidden folder

[Dominik Lindner (Staff)]

Hi Felix,

I had a look in the code, and there it is deliberately prohibited. But I can't see a reason for it.
I'm going to fix that for 5.3.1 (unfortunately it's too late for 5.3.0 which is going to be released soon).
And yes, it is the hidden attribute. So for now, the only workaround would be to remove this attribute
from the folder, if possible.

Regards,
Dominik

I can import those images with a OMERO 5.2.2 ice35 client on OsX without problems. But with the same clients on win7/10 I can select the tif images but the arrows in the middle of the UI stay inactive (gray). So effectively I cannot select those images with the importer.
