Hi Alex
if you upload the subject that is causing this problem I'll take a look. What version are you running and what OS?

Hello!
I'm having trouble with mris_expand using the -thickness flag. If I expand by a fixed distance instead of % thickness then mris_expand works no problem - the program seems to be hanging up when reading the thickness file. Has anyone else experienced this?
The command I'm running (from the surf folder) is:
mris_expand -thickness lh.white 0.5 lh.expandWhiteThick0p5
The output from this is: "using distance as a % of thickness expanding surface lh.white by 50.0% of thickness and writing it to lh.expandWhiteThick0p5 reading thickness..."
And then...nothing! Watching the CPU usage it appears that resources are used for about 10 -12 minutes and then drops to 0 and just sits there for as long as I'll let it (>4 days) - no error.
Also, the thickness files do not appear to be corrupt. I can overlay the thickness data onto a surface no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex
