options.skipf for multisession has to be set up manualy about vba-toolbox HOT 3 CLOSED

Dear Vasilisa,
This is a very good point.
I think this is due tot he way the multisession inversion has been implemented.
Lionel: I believe this relates to the fact that session are concatenated over time. Can you to have a look and correct this? Ideally:

• the default should be such that when only specifying one options.skipf for the whole set of sessions, then multisession inversion should apply this to each and every session.
• users may be allowed to give an options.skipf per session, if this is required.

Cheers,

The problem is how to deal with sessions of different sizes. What I can do:

• if skipf has the size of one session and all sessions are similar: duplicate skipf
• if skipf has the size of one session but sessions are dissimilar: throw an error
• if skipf has the size of all sessions concatenated, assume it consists of the concatenation of session-wise skipf. I can also accept an array of skipf that will be automatically combined after a size chek.

Lionel,
I think this can be simplified, under the assumption that skipf is useed only for the first(s) state updates.
(This is usually what happens).
I suggest the following slight modification of your suggestion:

• [OK]
• create 0-padded skipf for all sessions, with 1's in the same place than the user-specified skipf.
• disallow 'wrong size' skipf, to prevent possible confusions (and issue an error).

Note: we should agree upon the 'full' multisession format of options.skipf. Why not a cell array?
Note 2: a warning should be issued for cases 1 and 2, e.g.: "Warning [multisession inversion]: replicating options.skipf for all sessions!".
