Roger that, I'll grab the svn version tomorrow.
Thanks,

This was a problem because their driver uses an incompatible version of libtiff that conflicts with the new version used by GraphicsMagick. The driver TIFF writer had no advantage over using the NDFileTIFF and NDFileMagick plugins, which have more features and can run in their own threads.

Users should install the latest Sample Viewer and filter driver 1.20 on Windows machines so that the areaDetector application can use the filter driver. The filter driver version in areaDetector must match the one installed on Windows in order to use it.
