Introduction
This page contains a wishlist, plans, and assignments for the appearance and user experience of the Slicer 4 downloadable executables
Feature requests
User Side
- 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
Server side
- speed up the download statistics display on the download page
- add monitoring of svn checkouts as a separately tracked entity (users versus developers)
- data base to manage registrations
- registration form schema
Architecture specific
Windows
- Window uninstall should allow to clean up everything,
including the registry settings. Note: Ini files are used on windows to store the 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.
- 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.
