On start script user should make 2 inputs

[Milderinne]

Hei,

I have an other question:
Is there any possibility that when a script is started the user gives as input one number and can choose between 2 string input variables in a window as input for the script?
That would make my and others live much easier to process all that data.
I would be thankful for any suggestions.

Hello Milderinne,

Do you mean two fixed options (like buttons) or two input fields that can be adjusted by the user?

Hello Alexey,

I have created a script which runs through all processes I want (more or less...there is always something to optimize..).
This script should be know applied to different "objects" or samples or how ever we call it.
The only thing I have to change for that, is the number of the specific sample AND the method (out of two).
So I think about something like two radiobuttons to decide which method. And maybe a list of all sample numbers where the user can choose one.

I hope I was able to explain it understandable.

Hello Milderinne,

Then you might need to use PySide module to create your own dialog.

You can use scripts with "dialog" suffix from the following page as a reference:

Ok, thank you. It seems that I would need to adjust quite some  things...

For later use, I might try to use PySide module, but  is there also an "easier way".
Unfortunately, I have only limited time left at the moment.

Hello Milderinne,

You can prompt for the integer,  float and string input from user with the following functions:
PhotoScan.app.getInt(label = "Input int", value = "10")
PhotoScan.app.getFloat()
PhotoScan.app.getString()
Label argument stands for the message box text and value - for default input.

Hello Alexey.
Perfect, that helps a lot already!
Thank you!

PhotoScan.app.getInt(label = "Input int", value = "10")
--> the 10 should just be without quotation marks right?

Hello Milderinne,

Using existing built-in PhotoScan module functionality it is not possible, only one after another. So for more complicated and custom tasks I can only suggest to use PySide, it's not very complicated.

Sorry, I already changed my answer 
I will try PySide if I get more time for this.
Thank you, for all advices!

As for the value argument, it should be the same type as expected from user input, i.e. integer, float or string. So for getInt() there shouldn't be quotes, I was thinking about getString() at the same time.
