Thanks for the info, Mark. I updated to FSL 5.0.2.2, and the problem with the additional row in the confound EV file seems to be resolved.

However, the frames flagged as outliers in the verbose output still do not coincide with the row that is non-zero for that column. I looked at the text file with the metrics values for each frame, and it seems that the actual outlier frame is indeed the # flagged frame + 1 thus the confound EV file is correctly removing the outlier frame from analysis. 

The verbose output seems to be the wrong party here, and since the outlier frame(s) are being correctly detected and removed, this is more of a nuisance than anything. I thought it would be worth sharing anyway.

Hi,

This should have been fixed in 5.0.2.
Please update to the latest version and let us know if the problem persists.

All the best,
	Mark

I am using it with FSL 5.0.1 and the confound EV file generated still outputs a number of rows that is equal to # of frames + 1. This is consistent regardless of using the option "--dummy" or not. I attached here some example files if it helps.

The point is while using --dvars (which also is dependent on frame wise movement) I get correct number of frames in the txt file (ouput of fsl_motion_outlier), but using --fd as option I get one more the total number of frames (total frames + 1) in the text file. So is the first row is set to be zero or the last row? In principle should we get one more the number of total frames using --fd in the output.txt file?
