1. You should keep the orig directory as that's where you store the the input data

2. I'm not sure that everything will run smoothly with mgh. I think a lot of stuff is hardcoded to work with mgz and/or COR

Folks -- probably Nick?

I'd like to be able to work with some FS sessions using uncompressed data, 
ie: not using mgz files. (Why? So that I can conveniently use some other 
tools for troubleshooting and inspection, tools that don't know how to 
uncompress mgz files).

Questions:

1. If I just try to gunzip mgz files, some of their names collide with the 
directories that mksubjdirs has set up. Historically, most of these dirs 
used to act as containers for per-slice COR files, so they don't seem 
useful anymore. Can they just be deleted without consequence?
    

Yes, those directories (orig, T1, etc...) formally used to store COR
files can be deleted without consequence (that is, assuming you have
the .mgz or .mgh files).

  
2. I'm assuming that the uncompressed files should be given the extension 
".mgh". Do the FS pipeline scripts and programs automatically adapt to 
uncompressed files?
    

Yes, freesurfer recognizes the filename extension .mgh (and just doesnt
do the gunzip on it internally).  

  
Thanks,

Graham
