path names in dataset.json generated in Windows contain \

[martinschorb]

Hi,

I have run a conversion using mobie_utils on Windows. The resulting dataset.json contains

        "imageData": {
          "ome.zarr": {
            "relativePath": "images\\ome-zarr\\FLM_a1_R.ome.zarr"
          }

which makes the viewer crash.

I remember vaguely that there was a fix at some point.
Any ideas why it is wrong again?

To be more precise. The viewer works when run on Windows.

found something here..
#78

@constantinpape would it make sense to change the code for generating the source metadata in using / no matter the platform you run it on?

I can look into that if you like.

[martinschorb]

I would basically modify

mobie-utils-python/mobie/metadata/source_metadata.py

Line 166 in b4a7de6

if file_format.startswith("bdv"):

to write forward slashes and check the validation and tests that this implies.

Any objections?

I think it makes sense to enable creating cross-platform MoBIE projects also from Windows.

Hi @martinschorb ,
yes that makes sense, no objections from my side.
