yes, in fact, what you have done is the preferred method. Just run recon-all with -qcache instead of -all (or any other directive). Also note that qdec is not very flexible, so you may want to use the command line stream.

External Email - Use Caution Hello,

We have a large set of images that have been processed in FS 6.0 (on linux) with manual edits for all stages of recon-all. We would like to utilize the QDEC package to do group analyses, but did not have the -qcache flag in our pipeline when we ran recon-all.

Is it possible to create the necessary fsaverage files without losing the manual edits? We have never generated these files, as -qcache has not been designated previously in our pipeline. If this is possible, how should we go about re-running recon-all with -qcache so as to not lose the manual edits?

Thank you, Marisa Ross
