[FieldTrip] data.sampleinfo when preprocessing was completed in EEGLAB

[Eelke Spaak]

Dear Clara,

1) Some FT functions require a sampleinfo for their inner workings, so
they reconstruct it in a simple way if it is not present. You can
safely ignore this warning if you are not doing anything with sample
indices yourself. Specifically, the FT artifact and event functions
use sample indices (i.e. return segments of artifacts/events in terms
of samples relative to the original recording), if you are not using
these you are probably safe.

2) Not me ;)

Best,
Eelke
