Command History

DSI Studio records many GUI operations in Command History. The recorded commands can be reviewed, repeated, saved to a CSV file, applied to other datasets, or executed from the command line.

View command history

After opening an .fz file, inspect recorded operations at [Options][Command History].

The history can be saved to or loaded from a CSV file. Selected commands can also be repeated directly from the history window.

Apply a workflow to other files

Apply to Others repeats the selected commands on other files when the selected history includes a file-open command.

For example, select a sequence containing open_fib, choose Apply to Others, and select the other FIB files to process with the same recorded steps.

Not every GUI function is recorded. If a required operation is missing from Command History, report it on the DSI Studio forum.

Run a saved command history from the command line

A saved CSV command history can be passed directly to DSI Studio. The history should include the file-open step required by the workflow.

A command-history CSV file can also be dragged into the DSI Studio GUI to run it.

Run GUI commands from the console

The DSI Studio console can execute GUI commands directly. The following example loops through tractography files, opens each file, changes the view, and saves a rendered image:

--action=vis --loop=*.tt.gz --cmd="open_tracts,*.tt.gz+set_view,2+save_hd_screen,1.jpg,1024 800"

Commands in --cmd are separated by +.
