Hi afni group:

I have a DriveSuma script that runs afni and suma, has them talking and save images. It works perfectly on one machine. While when I moved it to another machine, everything went well except the recording behavior. Basically I use

for pose in 'Ctrl+left' 'Ctrl+right'
do
	# get view and snap
	DriveSuma -com viewer_cont -key "$pose" -com viewer_cont -key 'Ctrl+r' 
	sleep 3 # give it a break to change the view and save the fig 
done

to change the angle and record the image, but sometimes the recorded image was like the images that I attached (and sometimes It worked perfectly with nothing changed). What's weird is that this wrong behavior was not stable, some times it recorded at this weird angle, or another angle, or even black. I have assumed that maybe the record command is coming too soon after the changing angle command, I even split the two commands(changing angle and recording image) into two line and have a sleep between them, but still not working.

Here is the full commands.

Thanks!
