Preserve processing pathway with export and tar without duplicating data

Import and Export
1

I’d like to export multiple jobs of a pathway to revisit that pathway later. I only want one copy of the particle stack to be written, otherwise I would just tar with dereference each job. The pathway is:
-import from shiny.star
-homogeneous refine consensus
-3D classification
-homogeneous refine substate 1
-homogeneous refine substate 2

Is there a way to keep jobs linked or be able to import a useable particle stack with just one copy of the original shiny particle stack? What I’ve done in the past is make a star file for each state pointing to the original shiny particles and import each one separately, but it’s kind of annoying to do multiple times.

Thanks @cryofun for your post.

This is unfortunately not supported currently, but we made a note about this use case.
