Hi all,
I am running my image processing code that registers each image on a directory that contains a set of images. After a certain amount of iterations are complete for each image (when the function ends), I want the user to be able to choose and change the directory and run the function again without having to stop running the function. I want it to be continuous. Any ideas?
Thank you!

Depending on exactly how you want to do it, I expect the following command will be useful:
  • ls -- to see the folder contents
  • input -- to ask the user what directory they want
  • cd -- to go to the desired directory
There are other functions that get similar information. You could also build a full-blown GUI, but maybe these simple functions will get you started?
