I would just suggest *not* allowing the Analyze file extensions .img/.hdr since it may introduce confusions, especially for older, non-nifti-aware software: in any case NIFTI-2 will not be back-compatible with these software, some of which may crash or misinterpret image files, so why allow the same file extension ?

Otherwise we also will support the NIFTI-2 format in the BrainVisa world, based on the sourceforge implementation of the nifti C library when it is ready.

I don't think having two separate files for a dataset is the problem, but the extension can cause problem. IMHO we simply have to rename them to .nim/.ndr or something else that separate them from Analyze.

Having separate hdr/img file has its advantages,  e.g. one can just import the img file as raw data into third parties software, e.g. (non-neuroimaging image viewer) and set the dim[] and datatype information separately or pull data out of the third party software than clone the hdr from somewhere else.
