The same for MIB 2 under MATLAB and for the standalone versions:

• MIB starts with a window of tips; uncheck the checkbox in it to stop showing the tips at startup
• Every 30 days MIB checks for updates during the start and offers to download a newer version when there is one. Updates can also be checked from MIB->Menu->Help->Check for Update
• To use MIB with Fiji/Omero, please add the Fiji/Omero installation directory to the External dirs dialog
  MIB->Menu->File->Preferences->Program settings->External dirs
  
• If the widgets of GUI are too big or too small adjust the GUI scaling
• MIB stores its settings in mib.mat after it is closed, see Configuration file
• Access help and tutorials from the menu of MIB: MIB->Menu->Help->Help or from mib.helsinki.fi/tutorials

MIB 2.60 and newer:
• Windows in C:\Users\Username\MATLAB\mib.mat or the second choice in the Windows TEMP directory C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\
• MacOs in /Users/username/MATLAB or the second choice the local TEMP directory
• Linux in /home/username/MATLAB or the second choice the local TEMP directory

MIB 2.52 and older:
• Windows in c:\temp\im_browser.mat or when c:\temp is not available then the configuration parameters can be found in C:\Users\User-name\AppData\Local\Temp\im_browser.mat
• Linux in the script directory or in the local tmp directory (/tmp)

The configuration file is automatically created after closing of MIB.
If MIB does not start check MATLAB path and/or delete the mib.mat (or im_browser.mat) file.

• [Windows] When using large system fonts, adjust the system scaling factor:
  MIB->Menu->File->Preferences->User interface tweaks->GUI scaling->Operating system scaling factor
  For example, if the font size is Medium, set the scaling factor to 1.25
  
  How to modify system scaling settings


• [MacOS, Linux] If the size of GUI is not optimal it can be tweaked from the GUI scaling dialog:
  MIB->Menu->File->Preferences->User interface tweaks->GUI scaling
  
  
  • The user interface can look not optimal on high density screens, for example, fonts and panels can be too small for comfortable work
    
  • This can be fixed from the Preferences window (Menu->File->Preferences->GUI Scaling)
    
  • Please provide a scaling factor to increase size of GUI widgets
    
  • You can use the Font size edit boxes to increase the size of fonts:
    
  • Sometimes, some widgets of GUI are rescaled wrongly, as the tables in the following image
    
  • Scaling of individual widgets can be turned on and off in the GUI scaling dialog
    
  • The look of the user interface after scaling
    

MIB can be extended with various usable optional tools, unfortunately due to various reasons those tools can not be automatically installed and require manual installation or configuration.
Check the System Requirements section for optional software packages as segment-anything, BMxD filters, FIJI, and other options.

When using the BioFormats reader or FijiConnect you may get an error message that the amount of available Java heap space is too low:

This can be fixed by increasing Java Heap Space value in MATLAB

MIB under MATLAB environment

• Open MATLAB preferences
  
  Start MATLAB preferences dialog
• Navigate to
  MATLAB->General->Java Heap Memory
  Java Heap Memory settings
• Use the slider to increase Java Heap size to the desired value
• Press OK and restart MATLAB

Standalone MIB

The following instructions are for Windows:

• Navigate to
  C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Temp\[USERNAME]\mcrCache[MATLAB_VERSION]\MIB_e30\.matlab\
  where
  [USERNAME] is the name of the current user
  [MATLAB_VERSION] is a numeric MATLAB version (for example, mcrCache9.11)
• Open matlab.prf for editing
• Modify JavaMemHeapMax=Ixxxx to a desired value, where xxxx should be replaced with new desired memory allocation value in Mb
• Save the file
• Restart MIB
