mne.io.read_raw_nirx does not read nirx file because does nof find the .inf file (which exists on the folder data)

Until yesterday, everything was working perfectly. Now, it is not, and I have not changed anything on the files. I have an .inf file in the folder of the data, but says that there is no such file. I don’t know if something in the package was changed or if I need to update any library… @rob-luke

Solved. Somehow my files were corrupted and an extra .icloud appeared after each file’s extension, which was only visible through the terminal but not from the file explorator. Sorry for any inconvenience!

iCloud’s syncing status is unfortunately not very accessible in the sense that you never really seem to know what has been synced, what is currently syncing, and what’s scheduled to be synced next :slightly_frowning_face: Glad to hear you managed to get this issue sorted out though!
