Hi, I am trying to run the paraconverter to convert from 2D TIFF series to IMS file. When running I get a "Bad Magic Number" error. I am using Python 3.7 (Anaconda download) for other reasons. Could it be that it was compiled in 2.7 and this causes the error? If so could I get the .py file and compile it in 3.7 and use this?
Jeffrey, there is something I am not sure to understand. You say that you are using "paraconverter" to convert to IMS format. Are you launching multiple instances of TeraStitcher using the python script? In this case consider that IMS format is a single HDF5 file which cannot be generated by multiple processes, so if you try to do that it is normal that something goes wrong. Unfortunately, to convert to IMS format you have to use a single instance of TeraConverter. If this is not the problem (i.e. you are using a single instance of TeraConverter or you have specified -np 2 as an mpirun option) let me understand if the error is raised by the TIFF libary (i.e. an error window appears with a message like "not a TIFF or MDI file bad magic number XXXXX (0xhhhhh)". In this case it is possible that in your folder there is a non TIFF file that should be deleted before running TeraConverter (e.g. a Thumb.db file on mac os x). If the problem is none of these let me know more details.
Best.
