First, I'm incredibly flattered you listed me as a contributor in AICS 4.3 when I made a just a tiny tweak to a thing that in the same release became not a thing. 🤣

I can't say I'm fully able to wrap my head around the GPL vs. BSD etc, issues.
That said, I do think that making all the readers available via the napari GUI would be a huge boon to users, including people I work with (I do understand bio-formats still requires a Java install, which can be a sticking point, but that's sort of a fallback anyways.)
So I guess I come back to @tlambert03 comment about making this plugin a dependency for napari at some point. If GPL license—which I understand sort of propagates?—would make that impossible, then long-term this could be a negative. But if that's a long way off...

[tlambert03]

yeah, I'm fine with this. If it later becomes a sticking point, we can create a BSD version at that time

[evamaxfield]

Holding for a week. Allen Legal looking into the ramifications of converting to a GPL license. (I.e. "how easy is it to move back to BSD after switching to GPL)

OK, so this is sort of insane, but it works...
What if, the error from napari-aicsimageio when LIF or CZI is tried, but the extras are not installed (in other words, the default install, without the GPL parts) told the use to open the console and do:
%pip install readlif
or
%pip install aicspylibczi
(this is from: ipython/ipython#11524)
It works! You don't even need to relaunch napari! You can see console output and the scene selector of a LIF.

Edit: here's pip show from the terminal, showing that it installed in the right env.

Uhhhhhh can you make a PR for that?

[evamaxfield]

Errr wait, this PR is adding all the installs. No reason to add that once this is merged and deployed

[evamaxfield]

I have no idea why the tests are failing on Windows... but I am going to ship this and release so that it unblocks a lot of people.

Will make an issue for fixing windows tests.

[evamaxfield]

@psobolewskiPhD release is out v0.5.0.

If you have a chance, can you make a fresh env and let me know if everything installs and runs correctly.

I am technically out of town this week so will be sporadic in response but hopefully everything works for you!

[psobolewskiPhD]

Everything is golden!
Works perfectly, both readlif and aicspylibczi.
