qdec by defaults puts its results in the directory $SUBJECTS_DIR/qdec/Untitled, which can create problems when qdec is run multiple times. try either deleting that Untitled dir (it might have permissions set to another user), or try changing the name of the design in the Design tab (look for the text box with 'Untitled') which will create a new directory with your design name and save stuff there. in general it is best to give different analysis (say, left and right hemi, or different factor selections) their own name so results are saved in separate directories (also this is an easy way to recover results later, or to view them in tksurfer or with other tools).

Hi there,

I am having a problem with qdec when trying to rerun analyses (meaning this worked before), I get the following error message:

Data table loading completed successfully. SUBJECTS_DIR is '/Users/bruehh01/Borderline_2' ERROR: QdecGlmDesign::Create: could not create directory /Users/bruehh01/Borderline_2/qdec/Untitled

Since I haven't changed anything since I last ran analyses, I don't understand what the problem is. Any suggestions?

Thanks and regards,

Hannah
