Hello Bruce,
I think this ties to one of my previous questions. Most of the volumes I processed need both wm and pial edits (typically deleting incorrectly added voxels for both). More recently, I was editing wm.mgz for wm and brainmask.mgz for pial. From the wiki, if changes are made for both wm/pia, one can run recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 and both changes would be incorporated, however with some volumes this does not happen: pial edits are incorporated correctly, but wm edits are not, I am not sure why, event though FS6.0.0 sees edits (running recon-all with -showedits points to edits in sm.mgz as well, and those edits propagate into filled.mgz. So next, I plan editing brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz for pia ( it turns out one cannot edit this also for wm when that means deleting voxels for wm), wm.mgz for wm, then run -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3. Is this a strategy, and if there are alternatives, please let me know. Also, for some reason, running recon with '-make all' does not seem to work.
Thank you,
Octavian
