 You may get the warning "Cannot reliably change the data type and/or suffix because the source file '..' can no longer be found". This warning is generated when (1) your source data moved to a different location, or (2) your data is zipped or in DICOMDIR format. This warning can be ignored if you do not need to change the data type of your run-items anymore (in the bidseditor), because in that case BIDScoin may need access to the source data (to read new properties or attributes). To restore data access for (1), move the data to it's original location and for (2) use the ``--store`` option of bidsmapper to store local copies of the source data samples in the bids output folder.
