A new process has been added (in axon 4.6), which may be useful for pipeline developers: database_qc_table, in the builtin data management toolbox.
It builds a table with all present and absent data for a set of data types / filters, so that users can see with a single glance if all their data have been processed. The process also gives access to viewers to inspect data.
The generic database_qc_table can be easlily used by more specialized QC processes, typically dedicated to a specific pipeline.
See for instance morphologist_qc_table in Morphologist, or freesurfer_qc_table in the Freesurfer toolbox. Other toolboxes / pipelines may benefit from such a table, with a similar look and UI for all.
Note: the process is new, so may still contain bugs...
Brainvisa now uses Anatomist in direct mode instead of socket mode. This means that it is now possible to create a custom viewer or process GUI with Anatomist windows embedded in custom widgets.
This also enable to combine pyaims and pyanatomist objects in Brainvisa.
This change should be quite transparent for users, except a new feature Close all viewers available from Brainvisa View menu that enables to close in one click all opened viewers.
The Clear everything feature of Anatomist also can now really close all windows.
It is now possible to store data history in Brainvisa databases (in the trunk 4.3 version).
To use it, check the option activate_history in the expert settings of the database: Brainvisa menu -> preferences -> databases -> edit -> expert_settings.
Then history information will be stored each time output data is generated by a process and indexed in the database. To see this information, open the database browser (Data management toolbox -> Database browser) and unroll the directories under the database directory to find data. If a data has history information, the contextual menu will offer the option Show history. When choosing this option, a data history window opens showing the process that generated the data, the corresponding execution log of this process and information about the Brainvisa session.
