Can not open files for training on Windows 10 about ilastik HOT 2 OPEN

Dear @nobrown88,

thank you for reporting this. Moving ilastik project files can be a bit tricky. It goes back to the way ilastik saves the information to the input files in the project file. In principle there are 3 possibilities:

• Absolute Link: Your data always resides in the same place on disk, even if you moved your project file since it was last opened.
• Relative Link: Your data is in the same parent directory tree as your project file. You may move your project file and data files simultaneously, but their relative locations must be fixed.
• Copied to Project File: If you select this, your data will be copied to the project file the next time your project is saved. Pro: Your project file will always be valid, even if you move your data. Con: This creates a copy of your data.

Do you remember how and on what machine the project was created?

This linkage of input data seems to not work anymore. Possible causes: a) links were relative, and only the project, but not the data was moved, or b) links were absolute but project is being opened on a different computer, which maybe has different mount points to the network drive.

In any case, did you get a message like the following:

This gives you the opportunity to restore the link by navigating to the missing file.

I know this is not terribly convenient.

note on the forward slash: ilastik saves the paths in normalized form. As a side note: Windows understands forward slashes, too.
