[Insight-users] GIPL File Format

[Jurgen.Fripp at csiro.au]

Hi
   Hopefully this isn't a false bug report, as I haven't been able to determine it's cause (or a proper fix). But at least using itk 2.2 gipl works by default in the reader/write. However, using itk 2.8.1 all my programs abort when trying to read gipl unless I explicitly register the gipl factory 
ie 
itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterFactory( itk::GiplImageIOFactory::New() );

Note: This was only tested on two ubuntu 5.10 pc's and both used gcc-3.3.

I checked itkImageIOFactory and gipl is still registered and the filename check in gipl appears valid (and obviously works when explicitly registered). I assume it's clashing with another factory but haven't worked out which (although haven't spent too much time looking into it).

Cheers Jurgen

PS This isn't very helpful, but after adding DebugOn to the reader of a simple ImageConversion program (itkReader -> itkWriter) without the factory an abort occurs and you obtain 1, with the factory explicitly registered it works and you obtain 2.
