Error loading SpikeGLX data in tutorial

[stephprince]

Describe the issue

I was going through the NWB Guide tutorial to prepare for the Houston workshop - very cool interface and clear tutorial!!

I just ran into an issue when loading the SpikeGLX data for the tutorial:

I wasn't sure if it was because I specified a folder path instead of a file path? However I wasn't able to select a file, only folders were given as options.

A similar thing occurred when I tried the data location autocomplete (really convenient feature!) for multiple sessions , I could only select folders:

Steps to Reproduce

Go to Data entry -> SpikeGLX Converter -> Folder Path

Operating System

Apple M3 Pro

GUIDE Version

latest NWB-GUIDE-arm64.dmg and main branch

Code of Conduct

Yes

Did you confirm this issue was not already reported?

Yes

The tutorial should have specified to use the SpikeGLXRecordingInterface, not the SpikeGLXConverter

We'll eventually add a 'how to' page to clarify the folder path for multi-stream interfaces since it is a bit particular

Got it, thanks! I didn't catch the different single-stream and multi-stream categories
