Open Microscopy Environment

Hello!

I am currently working with some colleagues on big .AIM datasets.
Usually we load .AIM using the ij plugin or ./bfconvert of the bftools.

But we are having trouble with that on bigger datasets. (As far as I can tell all >2gb dont work.)
What we get is this exception

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 0 must not be null and positive.
at ome.xml.model.primitives.PositiveInteger.<init>(PositiveInteger.java:56)

I searched your forums fruitlessly, I hope there is not already another topic about this that I have overseen.
What I already tried was different versions of the tools (trunk, daily, older...).
No success, yet.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and best wishes from Vienna.
Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for the bug report; unfortunately, none of the .aim files that we have reproduce the problem. Would you be willing send an example file that causes this exception? I have sent instructions on sending files to the OME team in a private message.
