[FieldTrip] Preprocessing and analysis of spike and local field potential data - issue with calling certain functions

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Hi Laszlo,

this is a bug in the spike-toolbox, because we made some changes to 
FieldTrip. The spike toolbox explicitly checks what fields are in the 
cfg and whether the cfg are used in that function - however after 
FieldTrip has modified the cfg itself already. Thus, in this case, some 
other FieldTrip function has added cfg.progress, and the program code in 
ft_spikeXXX was not updated to account for that. As the functions are 
all open source, you can easily modify them yourself so that the 
function will work in the presence cfg.progress.

Apart from that, we have a bugzilla system:
http://bugzilla.fcdonders.nl/
Would you mind registering and posting your mail as a bug? Then we (aka 
Martin Vinck) can fix this bug, and won't forget this issue any time soon ;)

Best,
Jörn
