Nice feature, thanks Jennifer. Though, not sure that it will help me
because I have hundreds of patches that should be created automatically. As
far as I understand, there is no functionality to create foci file
automatically.

BTW, unrelated, I wonder whether there is a way in the workbench to select
some vertex not by a mouse click, but by providing the vertexID (or MNI
coordinate). Something like in matlab Ctrl+G, where you jump directly to
some line.

Thank you.
