Jeremy, I do not know anything about the Volocity format. Is it
distinct from Openlab LIFF, and Openlab RAW? If so, what is the file
extension? Is it something that would be worthwhile for us to add to
Bio-Formats? Could you provide any sample data?

Kurt, I'm glad the Bio-Formats library is useful to you. If you have
any suggestions for improvements, please let us know.

Are you talking about Bio-Formats, or some other plugin for Openlab
LIFF? I was not aware of any others. Have you considered listing it on
the ImageJ Documentation Wiki's "Which file formats are supported by
ImageJ" page?

I think this is the Improvision TIFF importer plugin that I wrote. The
code is very simple; timestamp would most likely be very easy to add.

Michael, if you have LIFF files that do not work well for you, please
feel free to send them to us. This goes for anyone with data files in
any supported format -- please contact us so that we can make
Bio-Formats better!

It sounds like this file format is separate from Openlab LIFF and RAW.
Any chance I could obtain some samples, so that we can look into
adding it to Bio-Formats?
Thanks,
Curtis
