Hi Melissa,

Thanks for the clarification.

I will look at the install dates for Bio-Formats. What would you consider an old version?

Best,

Please note that is incorrect; Bio-Formats does indeed recognize and
read .ets files associated with .vsi files.  For those who wish to
examine the code, please see:

https://github.com/openmicroscopy/bioformats/blob/v4.4.8/components/bio-formats/src/loci/formats/in/CellSensReader.java

Please also note that Bio-Formats (the proper name for what is often
referred to as the LOCI library) is an independent library that happens
to have an ImageJ plugin, but is not tied to ImageJ in any way.  It can
just as easily be used from other software; please see
http://openmicroscopy.org/products/bio-formats for up to date information.

Unless an old version of Bio-Formats without proper .vsi support is
installed, this will not be the case.
