-f '%p' not working

Describe the bug

Hi Chris,

I have noticed that between versions 2018 Nov 22nd and 2021 Oct 6th, if I run the following on GE dicom files (GE Discovery 750)

dcm2niix -o tmp_dcm2bids/helper -b y -ba y -z y -f '%3s_%f_%p_%t' sourcedata/test6/

I get:

2018:
006_test6_B0map_20190503130133
vs
2021:
006_test6_RESEARCH_-_REGTRJ_20190503130133

So it seems like somewhere the %p option stopped working for these dicom files with the latest?

I am on Ubuntu 20.04

See the v1.0.20210317 release notes:

• GE file naming behavior changes (%p protocol name and %d description).

File naming behavior of the current stable version is here.

In brief, the current version of dcm2niix has consistent behavior regardless of vendor:

• %d=description (from 0008,103E)
• %p=protocol name (from 0018,1030)
• %z=sequence name (from 0018,0024)

While dcm2niix's behavior is now consistent regardless of manufacturer, be aware that the vendor usage is not. For most manufacturers, a user can edit the protocol name (%p) on the console. However, for GE MRI the protocol name is locked, and the user can only specify the description (%d).

THANK YOU!
This will fix my issue, using %d instead of %p :)
