Re: [scipion-users] How to export files?

Matt,

The overall layout sounds similar to what we deal with here.  In our case, we have a project template that is executed using the scripting interface, so we run the same tasks during each imaging session but they’re created as separate projects at execution time, with a few variables set in the template (project name, pixel size, paths, ctf parameters).  It’s also possible to do something similar in the GUI by creating a project that can be imported w/copy at the start of each session to create a new project each time with the same basic template.  We use v1.2.1 right now, but I think that both of these are still available in v2.0.

Also, can you share what precisely you’re doing when you see files being deleted from the project?  That sounds odd to me.

If I understood correctly your question, you are talking more about transferring the data of a pre-processing project.

Correct.  Thanks for your thoughts.  Here are a few more details.  We run under a shared user account, and we're expecting that each person will use the same Scipion pre-processing pipeline.  It sounds like users should manually copy drift-corrected files out of the project folder before the next user comes along.  Otherwise, they'll be deleted.

Managing data transfer/policies is beyond the scope of Scipion...and it is almost impossible to do it in a general (and robust) way that serve all the different situations.

The good thing is that we can create our own export plug-in.  I assume this contains all we need to know: https://scipion-em.github.io/docs/docs/developer/creating-a-plugin.
