Hi Peter! I had an issue with the deployed version of the Neuropixels trajectory explorer. I moved the CCF files to another directory because I ran out of disk storage. However, the software does not start with a relocation request but terminates with the following error:

File not found: xxxxx\template_volume_10um.npy
Error in => neuropixels_trajectory_explorer.m at line 80

I tried to reinstall the software, or change the nte_paths.mat under ./nte_deployed. Neither worked. I wonder where is the file location cashed and can I remove this history?

Hi Xuanyu - just checking: do you mean the deployed version (e.g. without Matlab, the undeployed version run through Matlab just needs the folder with the CCF to be added to the Matlab path)?

I've uploaded a fix where it checks for the files and asks for the path again if it can't find them - do you want to update and see if the problem is fixed for you?

Thank you for your reply! Oh sorry for the typo, I mean the deployed version (.exe). Did you just fix the matlab .m file? It would be helpful to also fix the .exe.

petersaj commented 1 month ago

Yes, I fixed the .exe file (that's the deployed version) for for the issue you mentioned, if you wanted to update the code and try it

Sadly, I still got the same error. I uninstalled it via the Windows control panel and pulled it locally, reinstalled it with the .exe. The error message was still there.

The undeployed version was working fine.

petersaj commented 1 month ago

Oops apologies, I forgot to copy the updated installer into the main page - I've done that now, do you want to try again?

wangxuanyu0419 commented 1 month ago

Yes, all set! Thank you!

Somehow I have issue opening it after reinstalled with the new executive file. It runs but stays in the background, taking up CPU and memory resources but no window is opened. I retrieved from the last commit 6d8c3b8 and was working fine.

I think I found the issue - could you pull the latest version and try again?
