Question 1

Rosbag Editor vs rosbag command line filter – which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Rosbag Editor is best for quick, visual edits on common tasks like topic removal, while the rosbag command-line tools offer more flexibility, scripting, and advanced features for complex workflows.

Question 2

How to extract a specific time segment from a rosbag using Rosbag Editor?

Accepted Answer

Load the bag file in Rosbag Editor, use the time range adjustment feature to set the start and end times, then save the edited bag to extract the desired segment.

Question 3

Can Rosbag Editor merge multiple rosbag files?

Accepted Answer

No, Rosbag Editor does not support merging bag files; it's designed for editing single bags. For merging, you need to use command-line tools like 'rosbag play' with recording or other ROS utilities.

Question 4

How to install Rosbag Editor in ROS Noetic?

Accepted Answer

Clone the GitHub repository, build it in your ROS workspace using 'catkin_make' or similar, then run it with 'rosrun rosbag_editor rosbag_editor'. Check if it's available via package managers like 'apt-get' for your distribution.

Question 5

Does Rosbag Editor handle large bag files efficiently?

Accepted Answer

Performance may degrade with very large files due to GUI overhead; for optimal efficiency with massive bags, command-line tools are recommended as they can stream data without loading everything into memory.

Question 6

Is Rosbag Editor compatible with ROS 2 bag files?

Accepted Answer

The README does not mention ROS 2 support; it's likely designed for ROS 1, so it probably won't work with ROS 2 bag formats without modifications.
