- This module allows to save the current scene (including all scenesnapshots, fiducials etc.) and data.
- The module is not intuitive. It will not set defaults from the mrml file that you used to load data. It does not behave in the way that windows data explorer and gnome file browser behave.
- Make sure that you follow the following procedure:
- specify the path to the scene file in the save scene section by clicking on the little folder icon
- then specify the data directory by clicking on that folder icon
- finally, you can specify the file names for the data and model files to be saved. By changing the extension, you can determine what file type will be used to save the data. .nrrd for instance will save the volumes in the nrrd format.
Note: many file formats are 'lossy' when it comes to saving and restoring metadata. For example, Analyze format cannot store all image orientations and .vtk format for images does not store orientation information at all. When exporting data to a new format, please reload the data to ensure the correct data has been saved. In general, NRRD, NIfTI, and Meta formats preserve exported information.
