Hi Tomas, I understand that this is important to have it work this way for better compatibility in Headless Mode, but wouldn't it be more practical to have the choice of using pattern or using the result of the previous step (as it used to be), at least in GUI mode? That was very handy that way, because we were able to run several times a batch in the same session/project on different input files (string pattern - regex - doesn't allow to make the distinction between 2 different runs of a given batch). A simple suggestion: couldn't we restore that possibility and in some way (for example, adding some sort of predefined tags to the RawDataFilesComponent/PeakListsComponent), such that we can, for example say: "${previous.step}" as a valid/recognized "pattern"/entry. Or, another way could be to give the possibility to prepend a user define prefix to the resulting file/list of the result of the first step (which would be used recursiveley throug the steps, such that we don't have to update every RawDataFilesParameter/PeakListsParameter, for every single step, each time we run the batch one more time in the same project). As a simple user, I would prefer to have "${previous.step}" recognized as a valid pattern entry. As a developer, I understand that this can make the code a bit more complicated/less flexible (since we would have to restore the ability of a Task to remember what objects it actually generated). What do you say?
