[Erppcatoolkit-support] EP Toolkit 2.94 released

[Joseph D. <jd...@ma...>]

EP Toolkit version 2.94 has been released:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/erppcatoolkit/ <https://sourceforge.net/projects/erppcatoolkit/>

The major upgrade is to how it handles EGI datasets, which pose challenges since their electrodes do not correspond to the 10-20 system (and its extensions).  Rather than try to infer whether it is an EGI dataset from their channel names or the type of file format, it now has a separate popupmenu for specifying it.  Also, there is now a trial specs subpane (for RT data etc) for the Edit function.

Other than that, there are a number of bugfixes small and large.

Stay healthy everyone!

1) Fixed crash when saving single-trial data in EGIS format and there is trial spec information which are characters not numbers. 
2) Fixed EOG channels preference control not displaying the channel numbers with correct format and hence not able to read them when Done was hit again on a later occasion. 
3) Fixed error message when reading in a data file where the file type has been designated as grand_average. 
4) Fixed Edit function's CED button on the Overview pane not handling case where remapping all the channels to a new montage. 
5) Average function now allows specs for RT and ACC to be directly specified. 
6) ACC codes can now be set in the Average preferences. 
7) Crash when using item option in Average function fixed. 
8) Fixed crash when using item average option in Average function and the stim trial specs are numeric. 
9) In Average function, fixed not computing mean or median average properly when there is only one trial. 
10) Fixed not handling blank fields (consecutive delimiters) when reading comma-delimited text files. 
11) Fixed Import button for Edit function's Subjects pane not working correctly. 
12) Fixed crash when selecting checkbox in Edit function's Cells pane and there are no events in the data. 
13) Fixed event and subject spec files being saved to the wrong location for text, stacked, and simple binary formats. 
14) Fixed crash when using Average function to form grand average and the files do not contain noise data. 
15) Fixed crash when using mains noise correction option in the Transform function on segmented data that is less than one second long. 
16) Fixed crash when using parametric option of PCA function. 
17) Added Specs pane to Edit function. 
18) Average function now retains original order of cells rather than reordering alphabetically. 
19) Fixed grand popupmenu not working properly for Cells pane of Edit function when the level names have the same length but they do not represent a set of fully-crossed one letter-long level names. 
20) Fixed crash in template function when the EOG channels are specified in preferences and some of them are indicated as being missing with a -1. 
21) Fixed confusing message that non-montages were assumed to be EGI montages (no actual effect). 
22) Added expansion button to the Segment pane to allow for a fuller examination of the segmentation table. 
23) Deprecating obsolete SLAY code and montage preference for EGIS files. 
24) Added montage popupmenu to enable specification of montages, especially for EGI data where the electrodes locations do not correspond to 10-20 locations, so EP Toolkit no longer needs to guess whether the data is EGI data even when channel names have been changed. 
25) Added support for canonical 10-05 coordinates in eloc structure. 
26) Fixed not dropping the full byte mark code at the start of UTF-8 unicode text files. 
27) Fixed crash in Template function when there are channels that are not "EEG" type. 
28) Fixed crash in View Topos when viewing single-trial data. 
29) Added tighter checks of channel, cell, subject, and factor types. 
30) Revised how trial-specs like RT and meta-data are combined by Edit and other functions to align better with how the voltage data are being combined. 
31) Changed the montage codes and made them a required field with a specified list of options.
