Hi Marie,

Thanks for the the response. I've done that a few times and still, the lgi option does not come up in qdec as a measure. Could it be that I'm using an outdated version of Qdec? My freesurfer v is 5.3 so unless I need to update qdec on its own, I don't think that this is the problem. Any other ideas?

Best,
Krista

Hi Krista,

You need to add the following line in your .Qdecrc:
MEASURE1 = pial_lgi
and save the change.

I don't think it matters where you add it, I have it before all the Qdec lines.

Then start qdec again, it should work. If not, check again the .Qdecrc file, and look whether starting qdec erases the added line.

Let me know,

Marie

Hi Marie,

The ?h.pial_lgi.fwhm?.fsaverage.mgh files in the surf folder are there. Here is the output when I run more ~/.Qdecrc:

Hi Krista,

Can you please run:
more ~/.Qdecrc 
and copy paste the output for me?

The "rm: No match" issue in the qcache is not a problem, it's independent from the issue of listing lGI in the qdec menu. Even with the no match output in the qcache command, all the files should have been created properly (you can check that you have some files named ?h.pial_lgi.fwhm?.fsaverage.mgh in the surf folder of one of your subject if you want to be sure.

Let me know,

Marie

Hi Marie,

I have tried adding the .Qdecrc file into the home folder as well but that does not work. The lgi measure is not appearing in the dropdown menu in the design tab in Qdec. Further, when I ran recon-all –qcache -measure pial_lgi, there were error messages saying 'rm: No match', although the -qcache exited without errors. Could this be the problem? If not, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
Krista

Hi Krista,

Can you be more specific about what is not coming up? If lGI not listed in the menu of qdec, look at the following post: http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer%40nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg33427.html

Otherwise can you describe more precisely the issue?

Best,

Marie

I ran recon-all -s my_subject_id -qcache -measure pial_lgi and created a Qdecrc file in my $SUBJECTS_DIR directory. Does anyone have any insight as to why this may be occurring?
