Hi,

Hi David,

   This question is really for the developers of Bio-Formats, but this seems to be the best way to send the question to them...  I apologize for bugging everyone else!

Thanks for contacting us, using this list to reach the Bio-Formats developers is completely fine.

   Is there a plan to include Gatan's DigitalMicrograph dm4 format in the future.  Both imageJ and FIJI read the previous version (dm3) without any trouble, but neither appears to understand the dm4 format.  I'm sure others would find it useful to be able to read such files.  The format appears to be a wrinkle on the dm3 format, and there are descriptions available on the web.  Thanks.

The dm4 format is already supported in Bio-Formats via the same reader as the one used for
the dm3 format [1].

We know this support is only partial and we have already some open tickets for this format [2]. As
mentioned in a previous thread [3], one of our issue is the lack of proper official specification. Would
you be able to upload one of your failing dm4 files to http://qa.openmicroscopy.org.uk/qa/upload/?

Best,
Sebastien
