I experience again and again that Slicer users cannot figure out that they need to install the QuantitativeReporting extension in order to be able to load DICOM SEG objects. The “hints” mechanism we currently have that suggests installing extensions on data import are far from perfect, and I am afraid most users ignore them. The error message lacks any useful information in the user-facing message, and the console error is equally useless.
In the past we discussed adding dcmqi as a core component (see above), but I am not sure we reached consensus from all participants.
As a less intrusive fix, maybe we could add a specific check in the Scalar volume DICOM plugin to inform the user about the need to install QuantitativeReporting at the time DICOM SEG is attempted to be loaded. Does anyone have concerns about this?
@pieper @jcfr @lassoan can each of you please voice your opinion?
