I know that Model Maker is [dinosaur](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/model-maker-does-not-create-model-from-label-map/3977/6) and have not been using it since long.

Just had a try today with a labelmap volume and noticed that Slicer always crashes with the following output :

> “Volume” Reader has successfully read the file “/home/user/Desktop/BIG/Slicer/aaa\_cropped.nrrd” “[0.21s]”

Reporting it for any useful purpose. The module is still available.

Does enabling “Prefer executable CLIs” in application settings / Modules fix the problem?

Sorry, I missed your reply.

Thanks.
