PixelPatrol Processing

Processing Configuration

Path to root folder containing your dataset

Where to save the results file (.parquet). e.g. /my/dir/project.parquet

Comma-separated. Subdirectories of Base Directory (absolute or relative).

Comma-separated extensions (leave empty for all)

Advanced settings

Leave empty to run all applicable processors. Overrides "Skip processors" below if set.

Ignored if "Run only these processors" is set.

Number of parallel Dask workers. Use 1 to disable parallelism.

Connect to an existing Dask scheduler instead of a local one (e.g. on an HPC cluster). ! When set, "Max Workers" above is ignored - configure worker count on the scheduler/cluster itself.

Controls batch sizes for small files, spatial splitting for large files, and sub-image batching.

Max files per batch task or sub-images per container task.

Rows buffered in memory before flushing to a temporary file on disk.

Rows per row group in the final parquet. Smaller values speed up thumbnail sampling in the viewer.

Per-dimension granularity of statistics. Z=1 produces one set of statistics per Z slice; Z=5 groups every 5 slices. By default X and Y are full extent and other dims (Z, T, C, S) step by 1. Use -1 for full extent. Comma-separated DIM=SIZE pairs.

INFO and WARNING messages still appear below as usual.

Viewer defaults

Pre-set how the interactive report opens in "Open in Viewer" below. These don't affect processing.

Comma-separated KEY=VALUE pairs to pre-select a slice.

Comma-separated widget IDs.
