Package: libsight
Version: 21.1.1-3
Severity: wishlist
Please, consider providing dicomxplorer executable similar to the
sightviewer wrapper built from the "sight" source package (developing by
IRCAD).

DicomXplorer
DicomXplorer is a simple medical image viewer that can connect to a PACS
to retrieve DICOM data. It supports CT-scan and MRI images.
Currently most of its files are a part of the libsight package:
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/about/about.html
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/about/vrrender_128.png
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/configurations/dicomXplorerBase.xml
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/configurations/sdb.xml
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/dicomXplorer.icns
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/dicomXplorer.ico
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/plugin.xml
/usr/share/sight/dicomxplorer/profile.xml
I expect these files and /usr/bin/dicomxplorer (similar to
/usr/bin/sightviewer) are shipped in a separate package or merged with
sightviewer and sightcalibrator tiny packages into e.g. sight-bin or
sight-apps.
A workaround: copy /usr/bin/sightviewer to dicomxplorer and replace
"SightViewer" with "dicomxplorer".
I got a CD with CT and a proprietary viewer that I have not managed to
get running under wine. Out of curiosity I have decided to try what
DICOM viewers are available for Linux. DicomXplorer has more convenient
projections layout than amide. Perhaps I faced come bugs in it or I just
have not discovered all its control knobs, so I can not say that
dicomxplorer (and sightviewer) is unambiguously better than amide.
Anyway, it does not look like significant maintenance burden, so, I
suppose, an additional DICOM viewer application will be an improvement.

Hello,
The *dicomxplorer* component has been removed from the upstream repository
(see commit 41bd82f439767108042f240edc6fa3e3270e87b2) and is no longer
shipped
as part of the **libsight** package.
Most of its features are now provided through **SightViewer** instead.
As a result, this bug is no longer relevant and can be closed.
Best regards,
