Hi,

This box is appear when I run brainstorm for a new subject and stop the processing suddenly. After closing brainstorm and when I use it for new case, this box is appear and I have to press 'cancel' to continue the processing. But when I run brainstorm and finish the processing, this box is not appear.
How I can get ride of from this box and continue the processing without pressing any key manually?

This error appears when the database folder is not accessible:

github.com

brainstorm-tools/brainstorm3/blob/master/toolbox/gui/gui_brainstorm.m#L983

      
        
            elseif ~file_exist(ProtocolInfo.STUDIES)

                folderError = bst_fileparts(ProtocolInfo.STUDIES, 1);

            else

                folderError = [];

            end

            % If at least one folder is not available: ask the user what to do

            if ~isempty(folderError)

                % Make sure that the Splash screen is closed

                bst_splash('hide');

                % File does not exist: ask the user what to do

                res = java_dialog('question', [...

                    'The following folder has been moved, deleted, or is on a drive that is currently', 10, ...

                    'not connected to your computer. The protocol is currently inaccessible.' 10 ...

                    'If the protocol can be found at another location, click on "Pick folder".' 10 10 ...

                    folderError 10 10], ...

                    'Load protocol', [], {'Pick folder...', 'Retry', 'Cancel'}, 'Cancel');

                % Cancel

                if isempty(res) || strcmpi(res, 'Cancel')

                    bst_progress('stop');

                    return;

                end

Possible causes:

The protocol is on a removable USB drive and the letter of the drive changes from one use to the next. You need to configure windows so that this drive is always affected to the same letter (google can help you with this)
The protocol is on a network drive which is not always mounted or accessible: make sure the drive is always mounted, or work on a local drive instead
There are some errors in your database: right-click on the top node (the protocol) in the database explorer > Reload
There are errors in your protocol registration:
1. Menu File > Remove protocol > Only detach from database
2. Delete the file G:\...\brainstorm_db\ProtocolName\data\protocol.mat
3. Menu File > Load protocol > Load from folder > Select: G:\...\brainstorm_db\ProtocolName
