Dear FreeSurfer Developers,

We are attempting to make manual white matter edits to our subjects. The edits are saving; however, after running with recon-all, the WM surface does not appear to be taking into account our edits made to wm.mgz. Below is additional information, and I have attached our recon-all.log. We are only editing the cross because our dataset is comprised of single timepoints.

We are using FreeSurfer v5.3 and our operating system is OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6.

Command to open and edit WM:

freeview -v mri/T1.mgz mri/brainmask.mgz mri/wm.mgz:opacity=0.5 -f surf/lh.white:edgecolor=yellow surf/lh.pial:edgecolor=red surf/rh.white:edgecolor=yellow surf/rh.pial:edgecolor=red

Command to submit edits:

recon-all -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3 -subjid

Recon-all log (see attached)

Thank you,
