Hi Mark,
Thanks for all the feedback and the information, I understand that SCIFIO is user-driven but we feel that we are struggling with issues - which BioFormats had solved for us - all over again, which makes it frustrating and feels like a bit of a step back alas. Regarding that:

We did not submit reports at this point, as using BioFormats solves all these problems. But from my understanding, does Bioformats not have a somewhat extensive database of files of varying formats and flavors that they used and that are reported to work with the library. Is this mine of samples not exploited when testing out SCIFIO? Thus is by no means a reproach, and I apologise if it sounds like one, but I just want to understand where these new old problems are creeping up.
Clearly, I need to find the time to submit the if this helps you. Again I just don't want to duplicate informations and submissions if you have similar data formats already from the years Bioformats has been around.
Also these formats I mentioned are by far some of the most common microscopy formats, I do not know what the files I will upload will provide that you do not already have.

Thank you for the reply and I will push people to submit their reports as well.
All the best
