Hello,<br>
<br>
I managed to use OpenSlide to read LEICA's .scn files, which are tiled<br>
BigTIFF files with JPEG compression. To achieve this, I compiled<br>
OpenSlide using the latest libtiff, which supports BigTIFF and also I<br>
had to do some modifications in openslide-vendor-generic-tiff.c. This<br>
was required because of the way layers are arranged in SCN files.<br>
So my question is, should I add a new handler for LEICA files to the<br>
project (so that no changes in generic tiff are required)? This would<br>
require modifications in openslide.c as well, to add the appropriate<br>
function pointers in tiff_formats[]. Could this addition be incorporated<br>
in OpenSlide's code repository somehow?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Agelos<br>
