> Dear List,
> We've made a few updates to the reader for Olympus VSI Files
> For the more info and documentation, please visit
>
http://biop.epfl.ch/INFO_completed_projects.html#vsi-reader> Updates include:
>
>
> - Proper bit depth is taken when downsampling images.
>
>
> - We can now fairly accurately read labels, masks, overview scans
> from the images. This is still based on empirical formulas to recognize
> which files are which, so if you have some troublesome files, feel free to
> let us know. When the great team at BioFormats manages to parse the
> metadata from the SVI files directly, we'll make sure to modify our macro
> accordingly.
>
>
> - We've added an Update Site for our platform containing the
> macro, as per Johannes's suggestion.
> host:
http://biop.epfl.ch/Fiji-Update,
> Latest versions will still be available through our website as .zip
> downloads, but if you want to keep up with the latest modifications, you
> can add an update site for our platform to the Fiji Updater, see
> instructions at

http://fiji.sc/wiki/index.php/How_to_follow_a_3rd_party_update_site> The only issue we have is regarding the icons used for the actionbar
> buttons: There is an incompatibility between Fiji's Updater and the
> ActionBar plugin that does not allow for the upload of the icons to the
> update site. In the meantime, you can get the icons separately on our
> website if you really want them :). Note that once the icons are installed,
> the update site is enough, as the only thing that will change is the .ijm
> file.
>
> - So far we've had no more issues with the latest LOCI
> installations so hopefully this is a thing of the past and it should run
> 'out of the box'.
>
> All the best,
