Adding DCM Extension to DICOM Files Compressed and Export in ZIP?

Hi all,

I tried to download DICOM files as a zip by "Download ZIP" or "Download DICOMDIR" from Orthanc. But, the downloaded and extracted DICOM files have no extension. I am getting troubles with some software not recognized DICOM files without extension. Any idea how to fix this in Orthanc?

Ps. I am running Orthanc 0.9.4 on CentOS 6

Hello,

I have just pushed a patch in the Orthanc mainline that will add the “.dcm” extension for ZIP files generated by the “Download ZIP” button:
https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/commits/76ed4cf74bb5d8d6544ca9970e02cf8c69838a14

However, regarding the “Download DICOMDIR” feature, the DICOM convention is to not add the “.dcm” suffix in DICOMDIR archives.

Regards,
