Hi Emma,

You should be able to just copy the subject folders in question to a new location. When you want to work with them just set your SUBJECTS_DIR variable to whatever that new path is. Could you explain why you think you will have to recreate surface reconstructions? That should not be the case. You are simply going to copy the cases to a new location, correct?

Thanks Christopher for your response. I have read the tutorials/wiki page. My subject directory is set up somewhat similarly (See below). The problem is I would like to create and move the "PP*" patients to an entirely new and different FS 'subjects' directory while keeping the "MM*" patients in the current FS 'subjects' directory...Anybody have any ideas on how I can implement this? Thanks in advance!

    I think it's a bit unclear what you're asking for. Have you
    followed the tutorials on the wiki? Can you post your directory
    structure?

    What I do on my system is keep studies separate from one another.
    Each study directory has its own FS directory, and I keep the raw
    images separate. So something like the following:

    .
    |-- Study A
        |-- DTI
        |-- MPRAGE
            |-- raw
                |-- subj01
                    |-- subj01_mprage.nii.gz
                    |-- subj01_DICOMS
                |-- subj02
            |-- Freesurfer
                |-- subj01
                |-- subj02
        |-- FMRI

    ...and so on

    imported data from existing subject directory
    Hi,
    I'm re-posting my query in case it got buried on the listserve:

    Dear Freesurfers,
    I created a single subject directory and then imported sdata from
    two separate studies, in the end I realized I should have created
    two subject directories and would like to now rectify the
    situation. My question is, 1) how do I create a second subject
    directory in a different location? and 2) how do I transfer my
    existing subjects' data from my current subject directory to this
    new subject directory without having to redo any of my work
    (surface reconstruction). Is this even possible at this point? Or
    is it that I should only have one FS directory after all and
    perhaps I should just move the location of this directory so it is
    more accessible for both of my studies? If this is the case, could
    you advise me on how to go about doing this?

    BTW I'm using bash shell.
    I hope my questions are clear. Thanks!!!
