Hi Gianluca

if you rerun recon-all it should preserve all your edits (unless you explicitly tell it not to). We definitely do not recommend mixing versions.

Hi,

two years ago  I processed a lot of data using freesurfer v5.1. Now I’m using v5.3 on a different group of subjects, I’m wondering if I can use together all the subjects from the different versions.

Or there is a way to re-run it using the last version? I suppose that I can copy the ‘control.dat’ file that I saved into the new version but how can I add wm edits if I didn’t saved it in a single file (for example edit.dat).

Instead of creating an edit file, I saved every variations onto brainmask.mgz changing the original mask created by the recon -all procedure.

I need to compare those old subjects because after a machine upgrade it has been installed the new version and I started a new project with v5.3.

Thank you
