this probably sounds a bit daft, but should I be able to open the brain window more than once in a session?
I assume so, since it remains available in the GUI, and the documentation doesn't say only once: also, the attached snip of log shows it opens for time, but subsequently, despite the log showing window opened, nothing appears on screen...
This has been the case for as long as I can remember (log is from 3.3.6741)
My setup is atypical, in that I have 2 copies running 2 imaging cameras, both displaying on a secondary 4K monitor; when the brain does open on the first time of asking, it opens on the main monitor for both instances.
I hope that's enough for you to see where I'm coming from, and maybe be able to tell me why the window only displays once?
Thanks,
Carl
