mriconvert: Get mcverter to output desired filename similar to GUI version

[Jurjen.Heij at mdc-berlin.de]

Dear mriconvert experts,

We would like to use the command line version of MRIConvert, mcverter, to convert our files. However, the man-pages are a bit ambiguous regarding the specification of the converter output name. Similar to the GUI version, we would like to specify our output files as: seriesnumber_seriesdecription, in order to manipulate the filenames after conversion.

The command we're currently running is the following:
mcverter -o ${out} -f nifti -d -n -v ${PWD}, which output the files as "${studyID}_${group}_${subj.number)_${DateOfScan}_${subj.number}_${SeriesNumber}_${ProtocolName}_${SeriesDescription}"
The problem is, that it output the sequence name twice, for example:
MDC-0153_pilot_001_20190617_001_004_WIP944_mp2rage-0.75iso_TR5_WIP944_mp2rage-0.75iso_TR5_UNI_Images.nii.

We would like it to be:
004_WIP944_mp2rage-0.75iso_TR5_UNI_Images.nii (i.e., just the series number and the series description, see bold section). The other stuff will be assigned later on our own terms.

How do we specify the -F flag in order to get the obtained results? Do you have to give a plus/minus for each option provided by this flag (i.e., {"+", "-", "+", etc}), or do you have to give the name (i.e.{"SeriesNumber","SeriesDescription"})?

Thank you in advance and we hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,
