[ome-users] Convert HTD to Cellh5 using Bioformats

[Kai Schleicher]

Hi ,

I have a question grading the HCS data format cellH5. Basically, I think 
it looks really promising and I'd be happy to try it out - of course on 
our OMERO! :D

One of our current projects deals with HCS data obtained in the *.HTD 
format (download 
<https://filesender.switch.ch/filesender/?vid=00488c80-0325-e308-fafe-000008cef24f>, 
14 GB).

 From what I have read <http://www.cellh5.org/>, the cellh5 format 
should be vastly superior to this and I also noticed that Bio-formats 
can read and write *.ch5 image files 
<http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats5.4/formats/cellh5.html>.

Hence my (probably very naive) question: Would you know of a method to 
convert our *.HTD dataset to *.ch5?

I have tried something very simple using the bio-formats command line 
tools 
<http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats5.4/users/comlinetools/>, 
which almost worked  (see below) :)

I saw the console iterate through every image, but the resulting *.ch5 
however contained only a single position/image.

My suspicion is that all tiffs contained in the *.HTD where written to 
the exact same place in the *.ch5 file, i.e. where overwritten constantly.

Thank you very much for your help!

With best greetings from Basel,
Kai
