the LSM Toolbox source code?

[Albert Cardona]

Does anyone knows where is the LSM Toolbox source code available?
It uses a FileDialog that in macosx does not allow multiple file selection,
which we need to replace with a JFileChooser.

Thanks for any hints.

Hi Albert,

LSMToolbox source code is not available for the moment as I'm working
heavily on it. A gplized LSM_Reader will be integrated into ImageJ, but only
a low footprint version (<20kB) without metadata extraction, menus, merging
, info printout etc...

Just tell me where the problem lies and I'll try to solve it. I hope to
release a bugfix of the toolbox soon.

Best regards,

Patrick

Dear Patrick:

The problem is mainly convenience. If the source code was released under GPL
we could all contribute back to it.

Dear Albert,

I understand well the need for an opensource plugin capable of reading LSM
images, which is why Jerome, Yannick and me started the development of such
a plugin 4 years ago. I agree that GPL is the licence to go, and that's why
both LSM_Reader and LSMToolbox are being published.

*) LSM_Reader (15kb) will be put as GPL immediately upon release, as it is
provided along new ImageJ versions. The code for simply reading lsm images
is pretty stable and works well.

*) For LSMToolbox (+/-200k) a lot of work has been put into the plugin to
make it as complete as possible. For the 4.0 release the authors felt that
it would make sense to wait and gather bug reports first, release a few
bugfixes and put it in GPL once the code had stabilized (which I hope to
happen in a month or so). This is a pretty big release for us and it has
nothing to do with the "one-class" LSM_Reader. LSM_Reader has profited much
from contributions over the years, and we expect LSMToolbox to have the same
future.

The bugfixes I'm working on are:

- lambda stamping (reported by Jos Broers and Sebastien Thomas) (almost
done)
- images drag and drop to the controlpanel (done)
- macro friendly (done)
- jfilechooser issue (not done yet)
- Image5D issue (not done yet)

Best regards,

Patrick
