Keelin:
I recently tried applying an update (while keeping my older version) and it has changed my data or data protocol. Now I can neither work with the new version (Brainstorm opens but does not load the data), and I cannot open my protocol with the old version (see screenshot).
I tried restoring the previous day’s protocol.mat file from before the update, but I still get the same error.
Do you have any suggestions? Are there other files besides protocol.mat that get updated when a newer Brainstorm version opens a protocol — files that I would also need to restore from backup in order to make the database compatible again with the older version?
To open you Protocol in either version (the old or the new):
In Matlab run brainstorm reset
Close Brainstorm and Matlab
Delete the file PROTOCOL_FOLDER/data/protocol.mat
Start Brainstorm and load your Protocol
2020 is quite old, many updates have been done in the last five years
Could you expand on what feature is not there anymore?
Open-source software evolves with the constant feedback of users. New improvements often come with new bugs, bug reports and then bug fixes. This mechanism works only if most users keep on updating regularly the software.
