**QuickPV is an ImageJ plugin for quickly loading large PrairieView folders as 5D hyperstacks.** Performance is enhanced by limiting the number of times the filesystem is scanned and XML documents are parsed and read.

### Installation

* Get the latest `.jar` from the [Releases page](https://github.com/swharden/ImageJ-QuickPV/releases/)
* Move it into ImageJ's `plugins` folder
* In ImageJ click `Plugins` and select `Quick PrairieView Loader`

### What About the Bio-Formats Importer?

The [Bio-Formats ImageJ plugin](https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.8.2/users/imagej/load-images.html) does a good job at loading PrairieView folders, but because of how the importer works it searches for and re-parses XML and ENV files repeatedly for every TIF file loaded. For recordings with tens of thousands of TIF files, this is extremely slow.
