Processing I03@DLS datasets

There have been recent changes within the metadata organisation of HDF5 datasets from I03@DLS: the image dimensions usually stored in

/entry/instrument/detector/detectorSpecific/{x,y}_pixels_in_detector

are now stored as

/entry/instrument/detector/detectorSpecific/{x,y}_pixels

(i.e. dropping the "_in_detector" extension. This causes autoPROC (via the imginfo binary to extract incorrect values for these with a failure at very early stages in processing.

We have been working with our colleagues at Diamond Light Source (especially Graeme Winter - thanks!) to analyse this, and are providing an updated set of imginfo binaries here that should handle those datasets too: imginfo_20240223.tar.gz. This also contains an updated Durin XDS plugin for Linux (an updated MacOS version of that plugin will come later).

After download, please run

    cd $autoPROC_home

    mv autoPROC/bin/darwin/imginfo autoPROC/bin/darwin/imginfo.old
    mv autoPROC/bin/linux64/imginfo autoPROC/bin/linux64/imginfo.old
    mv autoPROC/bin/linux64/plugins-x86_64/durin-plugin.so autoPROC/bin/linux64/plugins-x86_64/durin-plugin.so.old

    (umask 022 ; tar -xzvf ~/Downloads/imginfo_20240223.tar.gz)

(with updated paths if necessary). There might also be further work and changes at DLS itself to ensure maximum compatibility of generated HDF5 metadata in the future.
