Overwriting ops.spkTh during mainLoop

[FilippoHei]

Hi there. After running Kilosort2 with a few different settings I noticed that the ops.spkTh variable is overwritten several times in the mainLoop (see picture). It is even commented with ops.spkTh = -6; % why am I overwriting this here?

So, is there a reason for this overwriting? I commented out the lines, and it worked just fine, with the additional benefit of being able to set the spkTh parameter myself.

I found that in the actual step that detects spikes based on thresholds it is also overwritten: main_kilosort.m line 29 -> datashift2.m line 27 "spkTh = 8" instead of "spkTh=ops.spkTh". Is there a reason for this?
