Hi again,
Some additional notes about the Bio-Formats release:
First, if you tried out Bio-Formats yesterday or early this morning, I
failed to mention that there is an additional support library required (
ome-java.jar) that goes into ImageJ/jre/lib/ext (or
/System/Library/Java/Extensions on Mac OS X) along with bio-formats.jar. You
can download this library from the Bio-Formats web site (and I have updated
the instructions accordingly). Apologies for my mistake.
Second, I have updated loci_plugins.jar to include a simple metadata viewer
with the Bio-Formats Importer plugin. Just make sure "Show associated
metadata" is checked, and the metadata parsed from your file(s) will appear
in a table in its own window.
Lastly, I should mention that Bio-Formats only works with Java 1.4 or later,
so if you are running the Windows version of ImageJ bundled with Java 1.3,
you'll need to upgrade to the Java 5.0 version if you want to use
Bio-Formats.
