Yes, its a Lightsheet file that has been separated by time. I tried
to open the complete file drlGFPlmo2Red7ss.czi with Bio-Formats, and
nothing shows up, even after many minutes (no thumnails, no popup,
no status message, nothing). Its as if I never tried "open" at all.
Fiji just stands there, idle...

Could it be that opening files from a (very fast fiber-connected)
network share (mounted as drive letter L:) is not supported?

All the best,
