This would also require changing the way qupath abba extension is handling import

@petebankhead is there a simple way to define an imageserver which is a cropped region of another image server ? that would support multiresolution ?

Edit: I found this: https://qupath.github.io/javadoc/docs/qupath/lib/images/servers/CroppedImageServer.html , but is there a way to make an ImageEntry out of an ImageServer ?

[petebankhead]

You'd create the cropped server using https://qupath.github.io/javadoc/docs/qupath/lib/images/servers/TransformedServerBuilder.html

From the server, you can get a ServerBuilder
https://qupath.github.io/javadoc/docs/qupath/lib/images/servers/ImageServer.html#getBuilder()

And then you can add that to the Project
https://qupath.github.io/javadoc/docs/qupath/lib/projects/Project.html#addImage(qupath.lib.images.servers.ImageServerBuilder.ServerBuilder)
which will return the entry that was created when doing so.

You can't add the ImageServer directly, since not all ImageServer implementations are JSON-serializable, and therefore can't produce a ServerBuilder. I think the cropped server can though.

Great, I'll try that when I have a bit of time!
