Thank you very much for publishing the plugin. I got the following error when opening a CDF file:

You have CDF from Q-Phase v5, but we have changed structure of metadata with Q-Phase v6. So you have to open CDF in Q-Phase v6 to update internal structure. Then it will work.

Thanks! In Maltab I do this:

%% read cds-format
fprintf('Reading the dataset from disc. This can take a while..')
[myData myInfo] = cdfread([myFolder myFile]);
%% extract only the raw-hologram from the CDF-Data
try
   fprintf('convert images to dip_image array')
   allholo_raw = dip_image(cat(3, myData{:,6}));
catch
   allholo_raw = dip_image(cat(3, myData{:,5})); 
end

Couldn't you make something like a switch? Thanks a lot! WIll try that!

If you need only the raw data and you don't need metadata I could do some modification.

[beniroquai]

Well..Would be cool to have the metadata as well ;)

So then is the only way, use Q-Phase program to convert CDF or convert utility which works on windows. I added it to Release as well.
