hi
is it possible to add optics groups meta data without having to import each group separately? It can get tedious when dealing with 50 groups.
Like possibly to import a text file or something denoting each mic/movie to a group #?
I believe this is not currently possible, but I had success running per-group ctf optimization on leginon data by customizing my particle names in the star file, adding something like “group_xx” in a standardized way that cryosparc could read with exposure group utilities & split w/ string slice. I used a combination of awk and mac’s text edit find & replace to get the optics group ID into the particle name.

Hi @orangeboomerang, @user123,
Thanks @user123 for your advice - using exposure group utilities is the recommended way to denote which mic/movie goes into which exposure group.
Note that if you are importing particles, the import job will also carry over rlnOpticsGroup as the exposure group index.
Hi @apunjani and thanks for the tip. The rlnOpticsGroup did import from the particle star file. This is much more convenient than the method I used.
