events files get re-created for existing bold files (batch/incremental mode)

[bpinsard]

Summary

This section of code should be extracted from populate_aggregated_jsons and populate_aggregated_jsons and triggered when converting bold files only (or asl too maybe).

heudiconv/heudiconv/bids.py

Lines 275 to 284 in 86d2210

	events_file = remove_suffix(fpath, suf) + "_events.tsv"
	# do not touch any existing thing, it may be precious
	if not op.lexists(events_file):
	lgr.debug("Generating %s", events_file)
	with open(events_file, "w") as fp:
	fp.write(
	"onset\tduration\ttrial_type\tresponse_time\tstim_file"
	"\tTODO -- fill in rows and add more tab-separated "
	"columns if desired"
	)

problems:

• it recreates template event files for all existing bold, not just the one that were created by the current heudiconv call.
• it is skipped with notop option while it is not "top-level" files .
• ideally it should be able to check for a matching existing top-level events files before creating it.
