[Records] Menu
Use the [Records] menu in the Fiber Tracking window to view or export the reconstruction protocol embedded in a .fib.gz or .fz file, and to replay or batch-apply recorded GUI workflows.
Records
| Menu item | Behavior |
|---|---|
Shows the numbered preprocessing and reconstruction protocol embedded in the loaded .fib.gz or .fz file, with controls to copy it, toggle a table view, or save <stem>_fib_protocol.txt. Externally converted files without an embedded log open blank. |
|
Opens an editable table of the window’s recorded GUI steps (Action and Parameter 1–Parameter 3). Select rows to replay locally (Run Selected), delete steps, save or load <stem>_commands.csv workflows, or batch-apply across datasets (Apply to Files…, Apply to Folders…). |
Viewing and Saving the FIB Protocol
DSI Studio embeds preprocessing and reconstruction steps inside .src.gz/.sz and .fib.gz/.fz outputs for methods reporting and quality review; datasets converted outside DSI Studio may open with an empty protocol.
Recording, Editing, and Replaying GUI Workflows
Each tracking window automatically logs completed menu and panel operations starting from row 1 (opening the .fib.gz or .fz dataset), while omitting canceled dialogs, Undo/Redo actions, and freehand mouse or camera drags. Use Reload… to restore the live session log after editing or loading a .csv file, or Clear to reset the log back to row 1.
Batch Replay Tips and Practical Cautions
Include row 1 (opening the .fib.gz or .fz dataset) when running Apply to Files… or Apply to Folders… across subjects so DSI Studio matches target file extensions, substitutes companion ROI and tract filenames, and automatically skips the original source file. Saved *_commands.csv workflows can also be dragged onto DSI Studio’s main window for automatic replay; see Command History for batch workflow details.
