to add a few more details:

i plan to run recon-all with a new version of freesurfer, but keep the edits that were done and clean up the directory. would something like just the following work for (recon-all -all -subjid subj):

subj/mri/orig.mgz

subj/mri/ctrl_pts.mgz

subj/mri/brainmask.mgz

subj/mri/wm.mgz

are there any other files i should keep to preserve edits? or are any of the above not necessary?

two other ulterior motives:

1. create automated comparisons of freesurfer versions on this minimal data

2. share this minimal footprint when space is limited. (since edits take time and are subjective, i'd like to provide those as part of data sharing).

cheers,

hi,

some of our freesurfer directories have become bloated with all kinds of non-freesurfer data. if i want to rerun a subject in a new location while maintaining the edits, is there a minimal list of files i should copy over?

cheers,
