Version 4.10.2 does not have an editor. <-Unable to make tensor image.

This other thread(linked below) has a lot of good details about this that can help guide you.

Where can I found Editor module

Hi I am beginner in 3D Slicer. I want to segment the Brain Corpus callosum and Cerebellum. In training movies I found the “Editor” models that can be helpful but in latest installed version (4.10.2 r28257) and in extensions , I can’t find Editor module to use. Only I can see Segment Editor that seems its function is different to " Editor" model.Please help how to find and integrate “Editor” . Thanks in advance

There is no slicerDcm2nii in the 4.11.x version coming out after June 2020.

Are you saying the SlicerDcm2nii extension is unavailable on the extensions manager? Or after you install it, it doesn’t function/you can’t use it? It might be this issue related to the time you check for the extension.

Extension manager problems

It is also a timing issue - between about 1am-10am EST, extensions are not available yet for the latest Slicer Preview Release (see some more information and solution here). You need to do this only once. All recent (not more than a few months old) Slicer Preview Releases can work from the same DICOM database. If you open the same database with an older Slicer version (e.g., 4.10) then it will downgrade the database. I would suggest not to mix Slicer-4.10 and 4.11 and just use recent Slicer-4.…

As it relates to SlicerDMRI, it looks like code maintenance on it hasn’t been that frequent over the past year so there is likely a good chance that extension could be broken or breaking other things.

• It appears many tests are failing for it because it is trying to look for testing datasets within the Slicer source code that have been moved to SlicerTestingData (Update broken testing data usage · Issue #130 · SlicerDMRI/SlicerDMRI · GitHub)
• On Windows there are build errors building a test which look familiar to what me and @Sam_Horvath ran into during the transition to using an updated Visual studio toolkit. We ended up just disabling the tests which could probably be done again in the short term to fix the build issue.

When start the 3D slider:
There are other DICOM listener running.

@lassoan might know more about this topic, but you can disable it by pasting this code in the Slicer python console and then restart.

slicer.app.settings().setValue("DICOM/RunListenerAtStart", False)
