Dear Freesurfer experts,

I have a question regarding longitudinal edits. Specifically the brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz file and the longitudinal processing stream in Freesufer 5.1 on a Mac (freesurfer-i686-apple-darwin9.8.0-stable5-20110525).

The problem that I am having is that the edits saved in the brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz file do not carry over when processing longitudinally. 

Previous posts have addressed this topic, but have not (to my knowledge) solved the issue. Please see the threads from the Freesurfer archive below for a brief context:

Please let me know if more information is needed to understand the issue.

Any insight/ideas regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Doug
