External Email - Use Caution
Hi all,
This is a reproduction of GitHub issue 1010. There is a section of recon-all (L5927-5930 in current dev) that states:
# MOD: turn on T2/FLAIR pial editing when FLAIR specified # This can backfire, eg, if not all the preceeding steps # are included set DoT2pial = 1;
This seems an intentional decision to make -T2 activate -T2pial (and similar for -FLAIR), which I suppose is a response to people running `recon-all -i $T1 -T2 $T2 -all` without `-T2pial`. However, it also activates with -autorecon1 and -autorecon2, which will not run -pial before -T2pial. Would you all consider this a bug or a caveat emptor kind of situation?
Would it make sense to add the following to -autorecon1 and -autorecon2 (hopefully this formats okay)?

In any case, I am now adding -noT2pial and -noFLAIRpial to -T2 calls that aren't -all as well, which seems safe for writing commands that will work for both FreeSurfer 6 and 7.
Thanks, Chris
