With a local file system, you can open any directory (by the spec, any directory is an N5) and it will nicely show all of the N5 contents, even when there are multiple .n5 folders underneath, e.g.
This is extremely useful for opening two data sets which are in separate n5 directories.
However, this doesn't work if the data is on an S3-like filesystem. Trying to mount the same directory via VAST S3 (i.e. https://nrs.int.janelia.org/scicompsoft/rokicki/flyefish/output4/) results in a "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: bucketName cannot be empty" error:
