Hi,

I've just pushed a patched fslview out to all of the YNiC machines (including remote desktop service). The only change in this version is that it now defaults[0] to saving masks which are created as .nii.gz (NIFTI files) instead of .hdr/.img pairs (ANALYZE format). This makes sense as the rest of FSL has deprecated ANALYZE support and it causes all sorts of trouble later on in the analysis stream.

Thanks to Jodie for bringing this to my attention.

Please let me know of any problems this causes or if you find any machines which didn't get the update.

Cheers,

Mark

[0] Although I say "defaults to", you can't force a different file output type easily in the GUI as far as I can tell. If anyone needs to for some reason, the correct way to make fslview output ANALYZE is to run fslview from the command line having first set the FSLOUTPUTTYPE environment variable, i.e.:

$ export FSLOUTPUTTYPE=ANALYZE $ fslview

I've no idea why anyone would want to still be using ANALYZE, but thought it should be mentioned for the sake of completeness. This is also the same mechanism as applies for the rest of FSL, but it should be noted that ANALYZE support is now partial and I believe is slated for removal in a future release.
