Exporting figure & images doesn't download full big images

[Rdornier]

Hello,

I recently noticed that the Export with image option doesn't download uncropped images when they are considered as big images.

This option of exporting with images is very great when the images have to be sent to reviewers/journalsand it works well for small images.

Is this behavior indended for big images ? If yes, what is the reason ? Download size ? bandwidth ?
In the README which comes together with the images, I think this limitation could be added (i.e. if the images are larger than h x w, then only the panel is exported or similar) so that the users know that they have to download the data from either CLI or OMERO.insight.

Thanks,
Rémy

FYI: I've made a script in groovy, runnable in Fiji, which downloads the images from a figure, whatever their size.

@Rdornier The Export with image exports the rendered image at full resolution for non-big images, but this could be too large for Big Images.
We already have the un-cropped image in hand as part of the figure building workflow for small images. But for Big Images, we'd need a different approach to export the full-resolution image, rendering a tile/region at a time and stitching them together to get the full-resolution image.
