Hi,
I’m starting to use cryoSPARC tools more and more - it is incredibly flexible and useful!
For the future, it would be great to incorporate this into the GUI somehow - perhaps a “run script” job, that allows users to alter selected inputs and parameters on the fly, and easily re-use the same script? This would also allow incorporating cryosparc-tools scripts into Workflows, which would be great! 
Cheers
Oli
Hi @olibclarke, thanks for your post, this is a great suggestion and definitely something we are considering for a future version of CryoSPARC.
In the mean time, you could use a Python GUI tool to create a wrapper around a cryosparc-tools script. Here’s one I came across that seems fairly simple to integrate. If cryosparc-tools can access your CryoSPARC instance’s ports from your local machine, you can even run the GUI script locally on a Mac or Windows machine (though this may be infeasible for more complex scripts that require extensive access to the project data).
Hope that helps and thanks again!
Having been using CS tools more frequently recently, integrating CS tools more tightly into the GUI would be really handy. In particular - if I write a script to do some calculations (e.g. adjusting subparticle defocus values) or create some plots, being able to queue that within cryosparc to work on the outputs of a job that has yet to run would be a great enhancement.
Hi @olibclarke, thanks for this insight and suggestion, it’s definitely in line for what we’d want to implement in a tools/CryoSPARC GUI integration. We’ve noted it in our tracker.
