Problem importing Leica LIF files

[Martin Höhne]

Dear List,
I know that it should be possible to read Leica Lif files, however I get the error message pasted below.
I´m using FIJI on a Win7/64-bit computer.

Is there a special trick I´m missing?

Could you please try updating to the 4.4.1 version of Bio-Formats
(loci_tools.jar) and see if that solves the problem?  You may need to
download manually from:
