[ome-devel] Analysis Chain Methodology

[Brian Ruttenberg]

I have a question about the Analysis Chain methodology employed by OME.

Unless I am missing something, it seems that Analysis Chains can only be 
run on data sets.  This is a major stumbling block for us.  We really 
want to run chains on single images, since our data sets are large and 
the inputs to the chain are variable (it may not be appropriate to have 
the same value for every image in the dataset).  Right now I am doing 
some ugly tricks to get a chain to run on a single image - which 
basically boils down to creating a dummy dataset with one image in it.  
Obviously, this is less than ideal.

I'm just curious what the reason was for not having per image chain 
support?  And, would anyone know how difficult or time intensive it 
would be to modify OME to get it to work on single images? 

Thanks!
