[possibly a repeat - last one went from the wrong address and thus may
be rejected]
These two bugs seem to only affect dcm2mnc in minc 2.0.14. Cross-
posted as it belongs primarily in the development list but affects
users of 2.0.14 and so should be known.
1) For reasons unknown the attribute acquisition comments was renamed
to acquisition image_comments, which breaks consistency with old
data. It has been reverted back from whence it came.
2) All dicom_* groups were left out of the produced minc headers which
may have seemed convenient to someone making the change but is rather
inconvenient to anyone who expected those fields to be there, as it
used to be. These have been reverted, with the one change that
attributes with length=0 are not added as it makes HDF complain and we
can probably assume safely that an attribute with no content isn't
particularly useful. And yes, that's me making a judgement call about
what might be useful to others - which is exactly what I'm railing
against here, but I do so only because it avoids screenfuls of HDF
warning messages.
Fixes are in CVS and will hopefully appear shortly in 2.0.15.
Cheers,
J
