Examining the OME-XML that Bio-Formats produces for the file, it appears to be missing a CreationDate, which would explain the error message.

In general, this error implies that all OME-XML we produce in Bio-Formats should have a CreationDate. If one does not exist, we should add one matching the time of OME-XML generation. However, the Java OME-XML library already does this -- when an ImageNode is first created, it calls setCreated(null) which initializes a CreationDate with the current timestamp. So this behavior is quite unexpected.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

As of r2511, the TIFF reader will always properly populate the CreationDate field.
