BFTool tiffcomment

[frank]

Hi,

I use the command tiffcomment (http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.0.0/) that runs into the warning shown below. I have seen that it should help to use the option "-no-upgrade" to get rid of these warnings, but this option is unknown to the command.

Furthermore there is no option like "--help" / "-h"

Can you help me?

Frank

Unfortunately, tiffcomment doesn't yet take the -no-upgrade argument like bfconvert does.

If you're using Bio-Formats 5.0.0 or later, you can set NO_UPDATE_CHECK instead:

Code: Select all

$ env NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 ./tiffcomment


Cheers,

Hi Josh,

it seems that it does not help (in tcsh). See below.

In tcsh, can you try with:

Code: Select all

  setenv NO_UPDATE_CHECK 1
  echo "$NO_UPDATE_CHECK"
  ./tiffcomment ...


Cheers,

I am sorry to say that, but it stays the same although I set the environment variable in the shell.

Hmmm....what does "bfconvert -version" say? In my case it's:

Code: Select all

$ bfconvert -version
Version: 5.0.0
VCS revision: cd2a5db
Build date: 7 March 2014


Cheers,
~Josh.
