OME-Zarr converter and data transfer were developed within Euro-BioImaging but not available in the ToolShed because of missing dependencies in conda-forge. Let's take this discussion to the BioHackathon :)

Isn't this what is needed for the converters? https://anaconda.org/bioconda/bftools

bugraoezdemir commented 8 months ago

The converter in the bftools package, unfortunately, cannot convert to OME-Zarr.

Currently, the most commonly-used tool to convert various proprietary image formats to OME-Zarr is bioformats2raw:

Bioformats2raw is, however, not registered on conda-forge or bioconda. Previously, we had a discussion on moving it to conda-forge and there was some progress, but then it has been on stall:

Perhaps we should resume this effort now?
