issues with mac opening slide book files

[elena ruggeri]

Hi,
I`m receiving this message every time i try to open a slide book picture with image J. I did download the plugins online but it gives me this Exception message all the time.


ImageJ 1.47v; Java 1.6.0_65 [64-bit]; Mac OS X 10.8.5; 46MB of 658MB (7%)

java.lang.ArithmeticException


Please let me know if it`s a mac compatibility issue or something else.

Thank you

Hi Elena,

Are you using the Fiji distribution of ImageJ (http://fiji.sc/)? The plain
version of ImageJ cannot open Slidebook files without installing additional
plugins.

Fiji is bundled with the Bio-Formats plugins, which are what provide
support for opening Slidebook files. However, note well the following from
the Bio-Formats Slidebook page [1]:

> We strongly encourage users to export their .sld files to OME-TIFF
> using the SlideBook software. Bio-Formats is not likely to support the
> full range of metadata that is included in .sld files, and so
> exporting to OME-TIFF from SlideBook is the best way to ensure that
> all metadata is preserved.

And some SLD files might not open at all. This is because SLD is probably
the most arcane and volatile format that Bio-Formats attempts to support.

First, please obtain a fully up-to-date Fiji: run Help > Update Fiji, or
download a fresh copy [2]. A fully updated Fiji should report "ImageJ
1.48o" which is considerably newer than the "1.47v" you are seeing.

Then try opening your SLD file using File > Import > Bio-Formats. If it
still doesn't work, try with the latest version of Bio-Formats 5 [3]. If
even Bio-Formats 5 fails, please report a bug to the OME Bio-Formats team
[4] with the full error message that appears.

Regards,
Curtis
