Per Ron's request: Display in current "auto-run" modules in one place, Ron suggested the Data Probe

I think I’m too new to understand this terminology of “auto-run” modules. Does anyone else know what this means?

@lassoan are “auto-run” modules ones that start observations of scene nodes? Do you know an example of one of these that was being referred to?

I think this is related to https://www.kitware.com/slicer-cli-autorun/

Ah I see. Do people still use this type of workflow? I tried searching for “AutoRun” in the documentation at https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ but couldn’t find anything.

Aurorun is quite useful when a CLI is fast enough that it can update its output within a few seconds. Then you can find good parameter values much more quickly because you just adjust the slider (no need to click Apply).

I also enable Aurorun when I don't want the output to reset the slice views (disabling showing of output image is a useful side-effect).

The really big promise of auto-run was that you could set up entire processing workflows from a combination of CLI modules. But probably it was too complicated for users and CLI modules could not do everything, so this feature has not been ended up being used much.
