Drag and drop ImageJ2 .czi .zvi files with Bio-Formats #172

Dear all, I noticed that the drag&drop opening in ImageJ2 is not working for .czi and .zvi file-types. I tried from old and fresh installation (IJ 2.0.0-rc-43/1.51p; Java1.8.0_51 [64-bit]), with Bio-Formats 5.5.3 manually installed or by ImageJ Updater. The Bio-Format Importer is functional within the Plugins sub-menu however when trying to drag&drop in ImageJ toolbar:

.zvi file returns a message "File is not in a supported format, a reader plugin is not available, or it was not found".
.czi file returns a text window starting with ZISRAWFILE... and metadata.

Thanks for your help.

I can confirm that issue with vanilla ImageJ2. Everything works as expected with Fiji.

Sorry for never replying to this. There is not enough information here to reproduce, so I'm going to close it. If someone wants to provide a recipe to reproduce with a current ImageJ2 (with or without Fiji included), please feel free to reopen. https://imagej.net/Bug_reporting_best_practices

(As @stelfrich says, Bio-Formats is not available with plain ImageJ2. But there is no easily-accessible plain ImageJ2 download right now. You can use the Maven artifact via various means, but there is no standalone bundle with clean Updater behavior currently.)
