Hi all, I looked through the topics and docs and this seems like a pretty obvious thing, but I didn’t find it anywhere. Is there a way to click on a markup in the 3D view and have it highlighted in the markups list in the markup module? I feel like this should work but I’m doing something wrong. T…

That’s a useful feature to have, but I don’t think it is implemented. You can hover over the point, and then right click on it and say ‘toggle point’ and that sort of gives an indication of which one is in the list. But not really ideal for large number of points.

Sorry, that doesn’t work in my case (i.e., it doesn’t show the right fiducial selected in the control points). r29055 (windows)

We haven’t thought about highlighting the point, too, just the markup (and use “toggle select point” for cross-referencing points across views and modules), but it should be quite easy to implement. What is your use case (how would you use and for what applications)?

Regarding what Murat said, right-clicking in 2D or 3D does not bring up a menu - this appears not to be implemented. I have a number of markups that label particular morphologies, and I need to edit the names and descriptions. It would be simplest to click in 3D and have it selected in the list in …

Right click is a fairly new feature. Perhaps you are running an older build? Ditto on the use case. We have similar ones too…

Right-click should be available in May 5 version. Do you use a Mac? I’ve noticed that on some touchpad/mouse on Mac create many pointer events, even when the point is not or barely moved, which defeats the current click detection mechanism. Maybe we need to increase the click detection’s motion tole…

I am on a Mac, yes. I was looking through the commits since May 5 and didn’t see anything obvious, so I was wondering why it doesn’t work. I am using an external mouse, not a touchpad, if that makes a difference.

In qSlicerMarkupsModuleWidget.cxx, I see a connection for right-click in the activeMarkupTableWidget. Is there a different place where the signal comes from the 3D view or a slice view (presumably to the same slot)?

Markup node selection is initiated by the 2D/3D markups widget and it ends with calling qSlicerMarkupsModuleWidget::setEditedNode. Markups ID could be passed in the context argument.

I’m running May 5 nightly. I’ll grab a newer one.

Thanks! Hope you guys are well.
