Hi,

  I have a question regarding LOCI open Leica .lif file.

  Is there a simple way or macro function to know the number of dataset in a .lif file without opening all of them?  

  I have some very large .lif file, I would like to open each individual dataset (labeled "series_x" ) in .lif file and save it as Tiff format.  I like to write a macro to do this task, but need to know the total number of dataset for the "for" loop.

 currently  I just open them all, and get the number from "nImages",  however sometimes the .lif is so big, that the RAM is not enough to handle the file.

 Thanks
Lai
