Dear Chris,
when a project is reloaded, will the latest version redo the computations
of the old analyses? Or will they have to be redone manually one by one?

On a potentially related issue to one of those you fixed, I've had
colleagues reporting some apparently strange results (100% wrongly
classified individuals in x-validated DAs) using small samples relative to
the number of landmarks. That did not happen, I believe, when we re-did
those analyses in R, PAST, SPSS using PCs (all of them, subsets and also, I
think, we might have done it using simulated data). I wonder whether that
too was some kind of issue with small sample sizes. 
I guess you'd say that one should not do DAs in those cases, and I agree,
but yet this might happen more often now that many people use
semilandmarks. Possibly the software could issue a warning. 

Thanks for your help and for going on improving MorphoJ. It's a wonderful
software. 
Cheers

Andrea
