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
  • 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.
