The underscore is invalid here. A dataset that starts with an underscore must have an enclosing underscore. It indicates a 'namespace' which is added when a dataset is considered non-standard. For example _ibl_trials means that the trials object is part of the ibl namespace and only relevant to IBL experiments. It's a way to acknowledge that the dataset isn't intended to be broadly adopted. Trials tables vary a lot by task protocol, whereas spikes.times (which has no namespace) is a community standard dataset.

We can discuss at the DAWG but I'd suggest making this a non-standard dataset type (either ibl or np for neurophotometrics).

If the dataset type name is . then you can leave the filename pattern as null and it will check that the registered dataset's object.attribute name part matches the dataset type name. If you want the namespace to be essential (and explicit) you should add a filename pattern, e.g. _np_fpData.regionImage.* or _*_fpData.regionImage.*, otherwise any dataset with or without the namespace will be registered.

thanks, wow well actually I don't know if that was a typo or not, but I definitely agree it's wrong as it is :)
The file is a relatively specific image file that comes from the neurophotometrics device that we want to keep for troubleshooting reasons and kind of hope to never "really" need it, but if we have it, it could help to reconstruct channel assignment in case something gets messed up.
