Introduction

This page contains a wishlist, plans, and assignments for the appearance and user experience of the Slicer 4 downloadable executables

Feature requests

Asks if it should be made the default application for .mrml and .nrrd files (ron says yes for mrml).
Reduce the size of the download package
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

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

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 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?

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