I just tried to convert a CZI file using the OME-NGFF converter tool, but it fails immediately complaing that "series 96 is not present". But when opening in Fiji via BioFomats one can clearly see, that there are 96 series.
Thanks @zeissmicroscopy for the report. I can reproduce both using the converter and the command-line bioformats2raw utility (both 0.6.0 as well as the latest 0.6.1 release) so I am migrating this issue as it's effectively unrelated to the GUI component itself.
The source of the issue is that by default Bio-Formats reads the data as a combination of 96 well samples within a plate plus one label image outside the HCS structure. While this representaton is fully legit from the perspective of the OME data model, there is no OME-NGFF specification for the handling of a mixture of HCS and non HCS data. In the absence of such, bioformats2raw will decide whether the data is HCS or not based on a combination of input options and metadata.
There is possibly a wider support conversation to be had at the OME-NGFF specification level but trying to revolve your immediate conversion issue, there are two options which should work with NGFF-Converter 1.1.4:
1- if you do not care about the high-content screening layout (i.e. the Fiji scenario where there is no metadata relationship between the individual images), you should be able to specify --no-hcs in the Extra arguments list. This will create an OME-Zarr dataset with 97 multiscale groups
2- if you want to preserve the HCS metadata, you should be able to specify --options=zeissczi.attachments=false (see the options) in the Extra arguments list. This will ignore the label image and create an OME-Zarr according to the plate specification. Note in this second case, you may have to manually delete the dangling .testwell96_test.czi.bfmemo file left from the failing conversion which would be at the same level as the original CZI file
The issue is decribed here:

Hi all,

Any ideas?
