I was wondering if we could test this further to see where the issue comes up by trying to drive SUMA with command line input, rather than by keypresses filtered through the Mac interface.
This script will:
+ find an open port
+ open suma with that port referenced (with a random image)
+ have @DriveSuma pass a command to that suma run, and have it snap an image.
So, copy+paste this into a text file called "do_test_suma.tcsh":
#!/bin/tcsh
set portnum = `afni -available_npb_quiet`
suma \
-npb ${portnum} &
DriveSuma \
-npb ${portnum} \
-com viewer_cont -key 'Ctrl+left' \
-com viewer_cont -key 'Ctrl+r'
.. and then on the command line type "tcsh do_test_suma.tcsh", and see if a directory called SUMA_Recordings/ gets made, and populated with an image.
