Hi,
I actually have the same problem. I used to have installed an earlier  
version in which i could drop my lif files into imgae j directly, but  
when I installed the new version for mac 1.44a, it does not work  
anymore. I have checked my plug in files and I do have the  
'HandleExtraFileTypes.class' file. the version I have of the Bio-
formats it is said that it is 2007. Do you know how can I make it work  
again?

thank you so much for your help!
lucia
