I saw in the recent change allowing @auto_tlrc with the option of -init_xform AUTO_CENTER to automatically run @Align_Centers on datasets. I wanted to try it out (because I end up running @Align_Centers quite a bit) so I added "-tlrc_opts_at -init_xform AUTO_CENTER" to my afni_proc.py script. On data where the centers are far apart, the option works perfectly. But on data where they are not far apart, I get the following error message.
@auto_tlrc -base TT_N27+tlrc -input anat3d+orig -no_ss -suffix NONE -init_xform AUTO_CENTER
Suffix not used.
Center distance of 36.834960 mm no auto_center needed

** FATAL ERROR: Can't read -matvec file AUTO_CENTER
** Program compile date = Sep 28 2012
Error: Anatomical dset pre.anat3d+orig not found.
Changing my code to use -init_xform CENTER fixes it, by forcing the alignment. Is there any way to modify AUTO_CENTER so when the alignment isn't needed it won't cause an error?
