Particle intersection of imported+native particles returns 0 in common

Hi @stephan,

Yes, I wanted to cull the particles/picks and I found previously the ‘inspect picks’ job was a straightforward way to do it. But as you suggested, I resorted now to methods outside of cryoSPARC.

I think in the long run it would be really useful to have cryoSPARC recognize pre-exisiting UIDs when importing particles (instead of making new ones). Somebody posted a feature request for this recently:

Feature request: uid assignment for imported particles

I started to use particle uids which cryosparc created in picking jobs to identify particles. It is really handy when comparing particles. However, such information is lost when the particles are exported with pyem and re-imported back into cryosparc. Is it possible to add option in the “Import Particles” job to refer to a particle extraction job such that the imported particles get back their uids?
