Support for the Woolz format will be removed from Bio-Formats 7.0.0 onwards. For users who wish to retain support for existing Woolz files, we recommend converting these file-sets to an actively maintained open format such as OME-TIFF. This can be achieved using the Bio-Formats bfconvert command line tool as outlined in command line tools
