AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Currently, if a user includes sub-brick selection (or range selection, I imagine) in the source argument to 3dcopy, they get the general "** FATAL ERROR: Illegal old dataset name! - EXIT".

Checking specifically for use of either type of selection and giving a more specific error (simply saying it's not allowed) could save users time trying to find a problem in their filename and perhaps spare you guys a message board question along the lines of "why didn't this work?" when they don't find one. :-p

Also, you might consider pointing out in its help doc that 3dcopy is intended only for whole bricks, and not, e.g., extracting a brick from a bucket.

Thanks,
Terry
