Hi Pietro

you should be able to. When you say you can't run tksurfer/tkmedit what happens? Can you send us screen output?

Dear FreeSurfer experts,

...

I'm processing scans on three different computers and I would like to know if it is possible to collect all the processed scans together in order to analyze data on just one computer.

I realized that even moving the processed subjects folders to another folder within the same computer (even if I set the new folder as the SUBJECTS_DIR) I'm not able to run tksurfer and tkmedit for those subjects....am I doing anything wrong? is it just that once you've processed the scans the proc_folders cannot be moved?

thanks,

Pietro

I've just figured that out.....the storage device icon is on the desktop but the actual path to the storage device is different....very silly :-)
