BUG: Import DV inconsistent inclusion of ini file

[ajpatterson]

In importer:

If I select all the files in the dv folder it skips adding the .ini files to the queue. If I only select some of the files in the folder and add them to the queue then the .ini file is added and gives an error on import.

Short of actually picking the test_setup.ini file and adding it to the queue, I can't reproduce this. Is there any chance that you explicitly picked that file? If not, which specific files cause the .ini file to be added to the queue?

When the .ini file was imported, did you see an error other than "Unknown file format"?

[ajpatterson]

Yes, I am picking the file specifically.

The odd thing was the inconsistency, if I select all the files in the folder, then hit add, it ignores the .ini but if I just select some of the files including the .ini and then hit add the .ini is included.

On further testing:

• If I select 5 or fewer files including the .ini then it is included in the queue.
• If I select 6 or more files including the .ini then it is not added to the queue.

When you select Import the .ini does give the correct Unknown file format exception.

Thanks for the additional information Andrew. This is actually not a problem with Bio-Formats, but has to do with how the importer processes file candidates. If you picked one of the .log or .txt files, then the .ini file will not be included; if you only picked .dv files and the .ini, then the .ini is included.

Brian, a patch is attached that ought to fix this problem (it just adds the '.ini' extension to the list of extensions that trigger import candidate processing). If it looks sensible, feel free to commit and close the ticket.
