Hello everyone,

I have been doing segmentations for months on Slicer.  
I now have a problem. When I try to  
open an old file, slicer doesn’t load automatically everything inside it. When I double click on the scene.mml file, slicer opens but it’s empty. I have to load manually all the .nrrd files.  
I never had this problem before.

Do you how to get rid of this problem?

Thank you

Greg

It should be possible to load scenes into Slicer-5 that were created with Slicer-4. That said, it is possible that there are some incompatibility issues that need to be fixed. If you can share a scene that reproduces the issue (use public or anonymized data) then we can look into it.
