Congratulations for the great work!
Can I ask a naif question - how does publishing work in cases like this one, where the software is made widely available for use (i.e. published to users) before the "official" publication? Are there any specific caveats? Copyright issues? Prior publishing issues?
Thank you!

Hi r.rosati

Thanks! As long as there is no published manuscript describing the software, then I think it's fine. In fact, I think having the software already open source and covered by an open-source licence at the time of submission is recommended (I usually request this when reviewing other people's papers).

Basically - the journal doesn't own any copyright over the software itself, only the manuscript.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for this great tool. I am using v1.0, and it is awesome.

I am trying to use the --renames-samples tag, but it seems to pull in the second line as the button names. Is that the intended functionality or a bug?

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,

Glad you like it! Are you talking about the new --sample-names command line option? The intended functionality is to take the first line as button names (as with the example in the docs). If it's taking the second line then that's probably a bug. If you could post an issue with an example file so that I can try to replicate the problem then that would be brilliant..
