@fedorov @pieper @lassoan I tried to reproduce this issue, but I could not.  
Specifically I have tried to update with latest Slicer a database created with Slicer-5.6.2-linux-amd64, i.e. DICOM database from version 0.7.0 to 0.8.1

Here a video:

@fedorov which OS are you using? @pieper could you please try to reproduce this on MacOS? and @lassoan could you try Windows as well, please?

we have also an automated test for this: [CTK/Libs/DICOM/Core/Testing/Cpp/ctkDICOMDatabaseTest3.cpp at master · commontk/CTK · GitHub](https://github.com/commontk/CTK/blob/master/Libs/DICOM/Core/Testing/Cpp/ctkDICOMDatabaseTest3.cpp)

but the CTK CI is run on linux.
