Error message while running mrAnatAverageAcpcNifti

I'm getting the following message consistently while running mrAnatAverageAcpcNifti. (Matlab 2017b/SPM12):

Direct calls to spm_defauts are deprecated. Please use spm('Defaults',modality) or spm_get_defaults instead.

Thanks for considering my request.

I had the same poblem and bypassed it by manually creating the VISTA group in my ~/.matlab/R2017a/matlabprefs.mat file using setpref('VISTA','verbose',1). To be fair I have no idea why that group didn't exist (maybe because I didn't use the toolboxtoolbox to install?) and what it does exactly (I think it initializes the waitbar, whatever that is), but it works now.

Hi Michael

Great, thanks for sharing. Could you please show me how to create this by using setpref('VISTA','verbose',1)?

Thanks for considering my request.

Cheers Larry

You literally copy and paste that into your command window and you should be good to go. Verify that you created the field Vista>verbose>1 by loading your matlabprefs.mat file in your matlab/R2017a directory.

Hi Michael

Great, it worked! Thanks a lot.
