October 1, 2004
Fiswidgets 2.3 is released. This is a maintenance release
with a number of small enhancements and bug fixes.
-
GlobalWorkbench
Now uses menus, not button arrays. This makes
the dropdown menus a lot smaller, they had been running off
people's window displays.
Also, we can now use alternate menus. In the new
GWB Options/View by function you can rearrange the GWB menus
to be organized by application type, instead of by package.
We would appreciate any feedback about a rational organization
of these "by application" menus.
-
GlobalDesktop
- "Remove all" is now at the bottom of the list of apps in the
flow
- If you set a breakpoint, you can now change apps in the flow
while stopped at a breakpoint, before resuming.
-
FormatConvert: 3 bug fixes
-- AFNI output format now allows "fim" datasets to have 1 image, like
they are supposed to.
-- FormatConvert would crash sometimes when it was passed a badly
formatted "-aux" string in afni format.
This has been fixed.
-- FormatConvert was using the wrong datatype code for 64-bit analyze
images. This has been fixed.
-
BatchFtp
An option to transfer using the sftp protocol instead of the ftp
protocol has been added. We still recommend using ftp, due to
some problems with sftp we are still trying to solve.
-
LogParser
When you parse a logfile and append its contents to an existing HTML
page, a link for that logfile will now be added
to the top of the HTML page. This way you can easily jump
back and forth to different sections, (e.g. when you have a bunch
of subjects in the same HTML page).
-
Fiscmd & FisTemplateWriter
There are two new applications in Fiswidgets that allow for the creation of Fiswidgets GUIs without any Java programming.
The FisTemplateWriter application creates XML files called templates, which describe a command line program.
The other program, called Fiscmd, takes templates and creates a Fiswidgets application from them.
The GUI that Fiscmd displays looks like a lot like a UNIX man page for a program.
However, the GUI is interactive and allows the user to build a working command line by selecting options in a table.
Note: Both of the applications are in the beta stage of development and have not been offically released.
To use either one type in:
java fiswidgets.fistemplate.FisTemplateWriter
or
java fiswidgets.fistemplate.Fiscmd template_file
