Summary0004001: DICOM import failure due to incorrect database directory
Description

I was unable to import some DICOM files in the 6/10 nightly build on Windows 7. Eventually I realized it was because Slicer defaulted to storing the database somewhere in my c:\Program Files\ directory which is read-only on my computer unless I'm logged in as an administrator.

Rather than giving an error with an explanation the import dialog would just report that 0 images were imported. It would be better if it gave some kind of error informing the user that a permissions error was preventing it from creating the necessary database file(s). Once I picked a directory that didn’t require admin rights the import worked fine.

TagsNo tags attached.

What should be happening is that the first time you run Slicer's DICOM module it puts up a dialog letting you know where it will try to create the database - did this happen do you recall? I don't know if it checks the validity of the directory at that time but I agree it should be checking that.

No, I don't think it did.

Alireza can you test this out and look for a workaround? The code linked below should be getting called if the database cannot be opened.

Automatic folder selection is more robust now.
