My script that worked this morning, stopped working just now. The function ft_preprocessing gives me this weird error, which it did not before. I saw on Github that Robert changed the file ft_preprocessing: - hdr = ft_read_header(cfg.headerfile, 'headerformat', cfg.headerformat, 'coordsys', cfg.coordsys, 'coilaccuracy', cfg.coilaccuracy); + hdr = ft_read_header(cfg.headerfile, 'headerformat', cfg.headerformat, 'coordsys', cfg.coordsys, 'coilaccuracy', cfg.coilaccuracy, 'checkmaxfilter', istrue(cfg.checkmaxfilter)); Is it possible that you perhaps overlooked something in your thought process? :) Or would you perhaps have a suggestion for a quick workaround? Thanks!

what about initializing cfg.checkmaxfilter in ft_read_header, as per cfg.checkmaxfilter = ft_getopt(cfg, 'checkmaxfilter', false); @Pim: I suggest to try and fix it yourself, using the recommended procedure on the wiki. This would perhaps help you across the first hurdle to try and contribute things yourself :o). The idea would be to create a clone of the fieldtrip github repository in your home-dir, which from then on will be the FT-version you can use on a daily basis. If you make changes in that directory, you can push it to your fork on github, and by means of a pull request beneficial changes can end up in the master branch, for everybody to use. The recipe is documented here: http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/development/git

I feel guilty and ambivalent: I Introduced the bug, so I am to blame. But I also agree with JM that it would be good for Pim to use git (as it is soooo easy and fast!) In this case I will fix it so that others don't suffer, but will leave a trace to be fixed by Pim...

I have merged the pull request. There is still a line of comment in the code that contains "THIS LINE SHOULD BE REMOVED BY PIM". I will assign the bug to Pim for further fixing.
