can I configure orthanc so that when I drag and drop a file into the website,
it automatically sends the file to a remote modality ( and does not store in orthanc?) i.e. can orthanc act as a router to another PACS server?
Also, is it possible to drag a DICOMDIR directory from a cd, and upload all studies in this directory?
Thanks,
Aaron

Yes, you can do such things with Orthanc. The idea is to create an external script (e.g. in Python) that continuously waits for the arrival of a new image, and that sends the received image to the other modality. An example of such a high-performance DICOM auto-routing can be found in the Orthanc distribution:

DICOMDIR are not supported as such. To import all the DICOM files from a CD without dragging/dropping all of them in Orthanc Explorer (the Web interface), you can use this Python script:

Wonderful. Thanks!
BTW, it looks like chrome supports drag and drop on directories:
