@lassoan Thanks for the example. `slicerio` seems like it could indeed facilitate the use case described. Unfortunately, I’m unable to get it working.

Running below gives following results:

```auto
slicerio.server.file_load(r"...\mesh.ply", slicer_executable=r"...\path\to\Slicer.exe")

```

- 5.0.3: application starts, but nothing loaded; eventually receive `requests.exceptions.ConnectTimeout: Timeout while waiting for application to start`
- 5.1.0 nightly: `AttributeError: 'WebServerLogic' object has no attribute 'enableCORS'`

> We could add a command for updating a node from a file

I think that would be helpful, indeed.

Edit:  
Just saw in `slicerio.server.start_server` that version 5.2 is required…
