problem opening sample images.

[Aryeh Weiss]

When I open sample images using File>Open Samples...
the bioformats import menu pops up

when I select ok, the following pops up:

and then then image opens

The following js does something similar, but only the Opener pop-up is seen.
imp = IJ.openImage("http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/images/boats.gif");
imp.show();

I went back to version 1.47, but it still happens there (it has been
happening for a while, but I finally am getting around to asking).
I am running Fiji, so I tried to deselect the bio-formats update site.
but a strange this happened -- no files  were listed to remove, and the
updater offered no changes regardless of whether that site was selected
or not.

tnx in advance for any ideas about this.

Hi Aryeh,

It seems like a bug in the "Cache Sample Images" command under File > Open
Samples. I could reproduce the behavior you describe by first running Cache
Sample Images, and then trying to open a sample image. The issue can be
avoided by deleting your Fiji.app/samples directory—then the sample images
will load from their remote URLs again.

As for the Bio-Formats update site: it is for Bio-Formats daily builds. The
base Fiji distribution ships with Bio-Formats (latest release version)
installed. So unticking that site won't necessarily remove any files. It
may downgrade versions of Bio-Formats JAR files from snapshot to release
versions, depending on whether there is any new build since the last
release.

Regards,
Curtis

Hi Curtis

Thank you for your quick and accurate reply.
Removing the samples directory avoids the problem.

Best regards
