v5.4.0
8385baa

This release expands upon an existing feature for generating Python snippets from file selections to allow generating shareable "Collections" of files between users.

The new file-sharing system in the FMS File Explorer will allow for sharing what we have been calling "Datasets" (fixed, immutable sets of file metadata frozen at a point-in-time) and also a new, similar, idea more broadly described as a "Collection". These "Collections" will be a set of File Ids that will allow the File Explorer Service to narrow down the possible files queries that can be run against effectively preserving a file selection. The hope with this is that we will be able to hit at least three major use cases:

  • Quick file selection sharing (select files, right-click, select "Share", send FMS File Explorer URL to whoever)
  • Long-term file selection sharing. Whether to be used as a tiny URL of sorts in a paper or by other services like camera alignment to direct people to specific sets of files.
  • & as we do currently, programmatic users who would like their machine learning algorithms, for example, to be ran with the same set of file metadata each time
