Developer Meetings/20130129

To discuss

• Specific module at startup (Julien)

It sounds like there would be a need to:
 - open a specific module at startup
 - pass command line arguments to such module to configure correctly.

• Nicole: Reopened bug 2557 due to failing test atlas tests
• Results of meeting with the PNL group who wish to move their DTI processing pipeline to Slicer4
  • there will be some feature requests and bug reports as they prioritise their needs
• Steve: ITKv4 Release mode build on windows
  • moc.exe issue resolved (hooray!)
  • still some modules not building: emsegment
  • Volumes do not load: http://na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2900
• Wiki Documentation: Should we have link like: http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Latest
• PythonQt changes integrated upstream. Thanks Florian :)
• OpenSSL integration

Conclusion

• Loading of image with ITKv4/Win - Fixed - Was missing itkConfigure.h include.
• Issue 2557: Sankhesh will be looking at this
• Kent is finalizing its work related to ITKv4 / DCMTK
  • Every project has its own version of FindDCMTK.cmake. Idea: Organize a hackfest to develop DCMTKConfig.cmake and remove the need for FindDCMTK.cmake
• Discussed how Slicer could be used in place of MRIWatcher
  • A module could register a custom layout
  • New approach to load files: Each type of image would be associated with a regular expression. This would allow every user to define which filename matches what.
  • Load dialog: Concept of global option
• Steve reported that EMSegment and BRAINS worked on its win 64 build
• Wiki page of the form: http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Latest will be added. These page would redirect to the current stable version of the doc.
• Discussed Qt 4.8.4 integration. Steve reported it worked on Linux/Mac/Windows for him. Hans reported he was using it for few months already.
• Discussed the generalization of External_*.cmake projects for easier re-use in other project.
• Mentioned that Dashboard scripts on the factory has been moved to: https://github.com/Slicer/DashboardScripts#readme
  • A convenient script cdashly.py has also been created to make script deployment easier.
