One possible solution:

Rename the time point in cross, in the base txt file (directly under the base directory, something with tps in it), in the base/mri/transforms/* files and in the long directory names and long/mri/transform files. I think these are all the places where subject names are stored, but no guarantee.

Hi Martin and Doug,

thanks for your answers!

>>> theoretically it would be sufficient
to rename the longitudinal directories accordingly as the base should
not change at all, only some of the filenames -- not tested!

Did I understand it correctly that if one has gone through the whole longitudinal processing stream (including corrections etc.), could one not remove the crosses and the base and just rename the longs to the new name as any further processing/stats is carried out only with them?

Thanks,

Janosch
