RE: Original data replaced after preprocessing?
Apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but I'm wondering where the "move" option and the "datasets dropdown menu" can be found in version 21.b...

"If you want to redo preprocessing from scratch you should first move the data listed in the 'original data' dataset to the 'primary dataset' (you can do that selecting the 'move' option in the datasets dropdown menu), and then preprocess all subjects again"

Kind regards,
Jeremy Smith.

Hi Jeremy,

Yes, preprocessing takes the functional data indicated in the 'primary dataset', preprocesses it, and points again the 'primary dataset' to the fully preprocessed data.

If you want to redo preprocessing from scratch you should first move the data listed in the 'original data' dataset to the 'primary dataset' (you can do that selecting the 'move' option in the datasets dropdown menu), and then preprocess all subjects again

If, on the other hand, you simply want to preprocess only newly-added subjects (after you have already preprocessed some other subjects' data) you can then run preprocessing normally but remember to uncheck in the preprocessing GUI the 'all subjects' field and select only the new subjects there (so that preprocessing is only run on the new subjects data, and the previous subjects data is left unchanged)

Hope this helps
Alfonso

In the GUI, when I run Preprocessing on a set of subjects, it looks like the previously-processed data gets labeled as the "original data." This is particularly a concern when I add more subjects to the pipeline and re-run Preprocessing. For example, I'm concerned that if I apply a particular smoothing kernel and Preprocess one batch of subjects, then add more subjects and re-run Preprocessing, that the smoothing kernel is applied twice to the first batch of subjects. (If I keep the same kernel, this shouldn't be a problem, but what if I want to re-run with a 4mm or 5mm kernel?) 

Can someone confirm that the original data (say, subject01_rsfmri.nii) is replaced by the processed data (say, suwususus_subject01_rsfmri.nii) after one Preprocessing run? Is there a way to avoid this?
