Detailed Description
- Affected library: webknossos
With the new way of storing the datasource properties in a database and not a JSON file in the dataset directory, it isn't possible to open such datasets as normal Dataset anymore, only as RemoteDataset. Currently, they and their RemoteLayers cannot be edited, e.g., adding a new layer, modifying a layer or downsampling/upsampling of a layer. This should be changed, so that we can edit new datasets with wklibs again.
Use Cases & Context
This is relevant for all recent datasets that do not have a datasource_properties.json anymore, and therefore require being opened remotely. This affects all new uploaded datasets (uploaded via WK as well as published via VX) So, it's important if we want to still be able to modify datasets with the wklibs in the future.
