[ome-users] Bio-Formats not opening Imaris file with several thousand slices

[Zara Weinberg]

Thanks so much for the fast reply, David. While waiting for the Trello
issue to resolve, is it possible for me to use your workaround on my local
system? I attempted to download the same version of netcdf you mentioned
from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/edu.ucar/netcdf4/4.6.11, and copied
it into my Fiji.app/jars/bio-formats/ folder, but I am still getting the
same error upon opening the file. Any suggestion?
