If you want to load a volume etc. directly you must create a MRML scene file and provide that as an argument. If you provide the names of individual volumes they will be loaded into the data dialog upon starting Slicer.

Hello reporter! Please explain the functionality you find to be missing or resolve the issue. Thanks so much!

With slicer3 I could cd into a directory full of nifti image files and type

"Slicer .nii.gz .fcsv"

Then it would load Slicer and all the images that match the ".nii.gz" or .fcsv file patterns.

Until this is implemented, one solution is to create a mrml scene with all of these data, and then load that at the command line.

Since there is a feature freeze on Sept. 1st, I'm not going to target this for 4.2. If you'd like, feel free to implement it yourself. The change would probably need to be added in this section of code:
http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewvc.cgi/Slicer4/trunk/Base/QTCore/qSlicerCoreApplication.cxx?r1=20575&r2=20699&sortby=log

Also, have a look at the QDir class:

Thanks. Please update and I'll be glad to help.

I don't know how many images there are to load. I don't have a MRML sceene. I just want to look at the images.

The process of making a MRML sceene is far more work than load ing the data through the GUI, so it does not really help.

Hi reporter,

What OS are you using? This is working for me now on Linux, but I haven't tried it on any other platform.

This behavior seems to have been restored.
