"Capture" not working about dicomviewer HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for the report. It looks like it doesn't work with big image size. If you reduce image size (something like 512x512), it should work. However, i will take a look at the issue for the next release.

Thank you! I will give that a try and report back... Again, thank you for the quick response. It is much appreciated!

I took a number of captures starting at a low resolution (512x512) and worked my way up. The max resolution I could get to work on some images was 1792x1792, which is not bad at all. Others I tried were able to be captured at higher or lower resolutions. So it seems to depend on the the original image. At this point, I have not identified specific parameters that might determine the capture-able image size. I can only say that the first image was from a CAT scan, and the second from an MRI.

Now that I know what to work with, this is much less of an issue. I use these images to help my oncologist understand what I am talking about (specific areas of concern via the providers software(Mychart by EPIC systems). It is a fantastic tool for such communications. Previously, I was using an image capture tool called 'scrot' (I run Linux exclusively) to screen capture the images to send to the oncologist. Now that I know what to play with via the dicom viewer tool on NextCloud, it removes the extras step of having to fire up another tool. Thanks!

If there was one suggestion I might make, it would be to offer the option of saving as a .jpg format. Some provider software systems will only accept certain formats. I can guess that supporting too many would bloat dicomviewer, so I understand if this is not an option.

Out of curiosity: Is it possible to determine the max capture size from the dicom attributes 'Rows' and 'columns'? Or perhaps that is what is happening already? Just curios...

Thanks again! Great tool! Highly valuable in communicating with health care providers.

Great, I am happy to hear that helps you!

You can currently change file type to JPEG to save as .jpeg format. If you need .jpg extension, you can rename .jpeg to .jpg manually for now and I can add .jpg extension in the next version.

It currently does not restrict max size based on the original image size. I agree that there is an issue with the original big image sizes. I will take a closer look when I have time.

Thanks for the quick turn-around in responding. Now that I have the ability to save from the built in capture functionality, even if limited somewhat, this becomes pretty low priority in my view.

Regarding the .jpg/jpeg format: My color scheme did not show the .jpg selection available in the drop-down box until I actually scrolled down and selected it which is why I did not see it. Now that I have done so, the selection shows up (CSS text color issue perhaps?). At any rate, whether .jpg or .jpeg should not matter as there is no real difference. So that can be removed from the list of things to do as far as I am concerned.

Thanks again for the great work and responsiveness here.
