How to extract all metadata from a oib file and export to a human-readable file (like txt)？ about oiffile HOT 3 CLOSED

There are many metadata files inside OIB files (oif, txt, pty, roi, lut, bmp), mostly INI style text files, which can be parsed into nested dicts with the SettingsFile class. The main settings file can be accessed via the OifFile.mainfile attribute. You can also convert OIB to OIF with the oib2oif function. In OIF all files are stored in the file system an can be accessed with a text or image viewer. Please see the examples

Thanks for the reply. I could extract the metadata now! Just one problem - I saw there are still some information (as listed below, like the Core metadata) that I couldn't see in the oif/mainfile. Any ideas how to get these?

Those look like properties from the OME model. You could check how Bio-Format determines them at https://github.com/ome/bioformats/blob/v6.6.1/components/formats-gpl/src/loci/formats/in/FV1000Reader.java.
