[Ctk-developers] Another ctkWorkflow thingie: goToStep(..) goes always back to starting step

[Danielle Pace]

Hi Daniel,

This is the intended behavior when using 'goToStep'.

The idea is that, partway through the workflow, you could execute the steps
until a 'finish step' was reached - using the default parameters for those
steps.  Then you can evaluate the results that occur with default
parameters.  If you get to the 'finish' step successfully, it puts you back
where you started - so that you can continue to step through and alter
parameters if you like.

If you do not get to the 'finish' step successfully (i.e. default parameters
produce errors on your data or because of the parameters you set in prior
steps), it will stop at the error.

Hope that helps,

Danielle
