Slicer4:DownloadPackage

Back to Slicer4 Projects

Introduction

This page holds the wishlist, plans, and assignments for the appearance of the Slicer 4 downloadable execuatables

Feature requests

• Asks if it should be made the default application for .mrml and .nrrd files
• Reduce the size of the download package by separating out test data
• 64bit versions for all supported platforms (or as close as is reasonable)
• check for old version of Slicer. If present ask if to adopt the preferences and customizations
• offer a registration: accept, later or opt out as options, sign up for mailing list: user list checked by default, developer unchecked by default

Architecture specific

Windows

• Window uninstall should allow to clean up everything, including the registry settings
• when Slicer is running, the Slicer icon in the Taskbar has a border around the icon. This looks ugly.

Apple Mac OS X

• Apple install should behave like other apple applications
  • See ClamXav for an example for a pleasant install experience.
• When Slicer is running, then the icon in the dock should be the slicer icon. Right now its not.
• should we be present on the Apple mac appstore?

Linux

• The Linux version should make stable releases available through standard linux distribution mechanisms.
