Neuro applications should not depend on a specific folder structure and filename - creates a huge barrier for user #703

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Describe the solution you'd like A CSV/List file based solution where the user can input which file corresponds to which modality.

Describe alternatives you've considered None considered; open to suggestions.

Additional context The current mechanism where the user needs to specify a specific folder structure and filename is extremely error-prone and is not sustainable. This needs to change to accommodate newer processing protocols where filenames can & will change.

Alternative (if via the GUI): an interactive "regex" based set of dialog boxes, ie. a familiar looking file browser, but instead of a single pattern box, supply one for each modality.

A badly mocked-up example is below. There would be additional boxes for each modality, using color-coding to indicate which files are selected in each type. Screenshot_20191121_180039
