      Hi Annalisa,
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I was made aware of this issue, I looked through the files
        that are causing problems and discovered that the files are
        missing the dictionary, that’s why the denoising is failing.</div>
      <div>However, I could not find the cause of this, my best guess is
        that there was a failure to read the disk during decoding that
        did not fill the dictionaries into the file.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I recovered the file by simply running an update on the
        decoded file, which re-writes the dictionary. Then everything
        works.</div>
      <div>Maybe this step can be added to the workflow, I think it is
        in the workflow, but if I’m not mistaken (Nathan can comment on
        this) it is after the decoder is run,</div>
      <div>If the update dictionary code is run before the decoder,
        everything should work in principle. </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Nathan, can you comment on when do you run the hypo-utils
        -update?</div>

                <p>I understand that there are about 10 files, which are

                <p>This problem has been holding us up for several weeks

                  convenience? it is becoming urgent...</p>

                                                          Do you see
                                                          anything
                                                          interesting

                                                          Size doesn't

                                                          seems it has
                                                          no schema

                                                          matches the
