Hello, @lanternx :]

FastPathology does not support reading .vsi images. FastPathology can only open the images supported by OpenSlide + ome.tiff.

I recommend converting images in VSI format to a more open and better supported format like Generic TIFF, which works with commonly libraries like OpenSlide, FAST, cuCIM and other libraries.

I made a WSI converter for just that, if you want to give that a go:

Here is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to convert the VSI images to Generic TIFF:
