Tools

The Editor tab also has some extra Tools to help you to manage your BIDS dataset.

Batch Rename

Use batch rules to rename files in a batch.

1. Click on Add Rule to create a new Pattern and Replacement pair.

2. Choose the Scope: Entire dataset or Selected subjects.

3. Click Preview to see the original name (left) and the new name (right).

4. Apply once you’re satisfied.

Warning

Your renamed files might not be BIDS-compliant!

Set Intended For

Writes the chosen functional images image path in the IntendedFor field of the field map’s json files

1. Fieldmap images (left-window): Choose the subjects whose fieldmap images you want to correct.

2. Functional images (right-window): The list shows all available functional images. Select one or more and click on Add.

   • If you add a functional image by error, click on the functional image in the IntendedFor window and click on Remove.

3. Click Save to apply your selection. A pop-up will confirm you that IntendedFor was updated.

Refresh Scans.tsv

Re-scans the loaded BIDS dataset and updates participants’ sub-XXX_scans.tsv in case something got erased or added to the converted dataset.

Edit .bidsignore

If you don’t like some files, you can add them to the .bidsignore, so some BIDS-compliant analysis won’t include, such as MEGqc or fMRIPrep. It also has a files filter.
