.path files after volume removal

[Gustavo Sudre]

Hello,

I'm wondering why the .path for data gets re-indexed after removing volumes, but not the .path for noise? Here's the scenario:

I have a dataset with 86 volumes, which has already gone through DIFFPREP (edti_DMC). I then open it in DIFFCALC and removed 7 volumes, which generates 4 files:

edti_DMC_DR.list

edti_DMC_DR.path

edti_DMC_DR_noise.path

edti_DMC_DR.BMTXT

When I look into edti_DMC_DR.path, inside any directory (e.g. edti_DMC_corims/SL0001/), I can see that the volumes I removed are not listed there anymore. Specifically, for any directory, I have the path to 79 files, with their original index (1 to 86). However, when I look at edti_DMC_DR_noise.path, which has the same number of lines as edti_DMC_DR.path, the files inside any given directory are indexes 1:79. 

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Gustavo
