Moving files from Working Files back to Subject Files

Send 'em back

The instructions in this section are written specifically for the moving of files that takes place after the completion of month 13's reliability checks, but they can be adapted to the moving back of files in other situations as well.

They can be moved back in batches. It is necessary to send the relevant files back before beginning that month's reliability checks.

1. Collect Working Files

Put all relevant files for the month you'll be running reliability on together in a folder within Working Files.

• Create a new folder in Working Files called e.g. reliabilty_13/

  • The script doesn't actually require this folder to be named anything in particular, but it should still be good practice to name it something along those lines

• Within reliability_13/, create two more new folders:

  • reliability_13/audio/

  • reliability_13/video/

2. Check Basic Levels

• Open each wordmerged.csv and check that all of the basic levels are correct, respectively for audio and video

3. Send files back via Scatter

To "scatter" the files back is to send them back from Working Files to Subject Files, renaming them as necessary. Instructions to use the scattering scripts are as follows.

The scripts are located in the scatter github repo, and the files containing paths to groups of files are located in the path_files github repo. Both of these should be located within Fas-Phyc-PEB-Lab/Seedlings/Scripts_And_Apps/Github/seedlings/

The files that need to be sent back are:

• Audio

  • .cha

  • wordmerged.csv (to be renamed to audio_sparse_code.csv)

  • audio coding issues

• Video

  • .opf

  • wordmerged.csv (to be renamed to video_sparse_code.csv)

  • video coding issues

Pull the most recent version of the scatter scripts

• cd to /Volumes/Fas-Phyc-PEB-Lab/Seedlings/Scripts_and_Apps/Github/seedlings/scatter

• git pull to get the most recent version of the scripts in this repo

(a) To send back audio (.cha) and video (.opf) files:

Audio

• The script for scattering .cha files is scatter/cha.py

• The path_files that cha.py takes as an argument is path_files/cha_directories.txt

• Use the --audio flag to indicate that it is processing audio

• We always use the --rename flag, which just makes sure that the files get named properly after being sent back

  • (e.g. an RA was asked to put their initials in the filename that they were working on in Working Files, but we don't need to keep their initials in the final version of the file that gets sent back to Subject Files)

python cha.py [path/to/working/files/reliability_12/audio] [path/to/cha_directories.txt] --audio --rename

Video

• The script for scattering videos is scatter/opf.py

• The path_files that opf.py takes as an argument is path_files/opf_paths.txt

• Use the --video flag to indicate that it is processing video

• We always use the --rename flag, same reason as for audio above

python opf.py [path/to/working/files/reliability_12/video] [path/to/opf_paths.txt] --video --rename

(b) To send back basic level (wordmerged.csv) files:

• The script for scattering both audio and video wordmerged.csv files is scatter/scatterbl.py

• Use the --audio and --video flags to indicate that it is processing audio and video, respectively

• We always use the --rename flag

Audio

• For audio, the path_files that scatter_bl.py takes as an argument is path_files/audiobl_directories.txt

python scatterbl.py [path/to/working/files/reliability_12/folder/to/send/back] [path/to/path_files/audiobl_directories.txt] --audio --rename

Video

• For video, the path_files that scatter_bl.py takes as an argument is path_files/vidiobl_directories.txt

python scatterbl.py [path/to/working/files/reliability_12/video/batch_wordmerge_output] [path/to/path_files/videobl_directories.txt] --video --rename

(c) To send back coding issues files:

• The script for scattering both audio and video coding issues files is coding_issues.py

• n.b. this script takes a long time to run so just let it run to completion by itself

python coding_issues.py folder_with_all_codingissues_files path_to_subject_files [--audio] [--video] [--rename]

Once they're back to Subject Files

Incorporate the most recent changes to the files by running All Basic Level script

Then you can generate reliability files for audio and video
