Hi FreeSurfer experts,
Just checking whether anyone has any advice on my query below?
I would greatly appreciate any advice regarding how to incorporate masks/pial edited in v6 into the v7 pipeline.
Thanks and best wishes,
Amanda

Subject: Migrating data from v6 to v7
Hi fellow FreeSurfer users,
I am part of a longitudinal project and have a large dataset that has been processed in v6.
I have now upgraded to v7 and would like to update my processed data, retaining the existing manual masks and pial edits.
I found an old ReconAllChanges page (January 27, 2006, last updated 2012) referring to this as a “legacy data set”
MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://freesurfer.net/fswiki/ReconAllChanges
I have also found a recon-all wiki page (MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/recon-all last updated 2017) suggesting the use of the following command for legacy datasets:
recon-all -subject subjectname -all -legacy
Unfortunately, the -legacy flag is not recognised in v7.
I would be grateful for any advice on how to update my existing data from v6.0.0 to v7.2.
Thank you in advance,
Amanda
