Implicit value typing & Major threading bug fixes for MSW

v0.7 (2020.04.21)

• Remove explicit DICOM tag value typing, let pydicom handle it
• Use DICOM tag to track advanced options rather than a row index
• Major threading issues resolved for Windows

List Editing

v0.6 (2020.04.16)

• List comprehension for MultiValue tags (e.g., ImageOrientation)

MultiValue Tags

Some DICOM tags point to multiple values (i.e., MultiValue pydicom class). As of
DVHA DICOM Editor v0.6, a new DICOM tag value can be interpreted as a list if it begins
with [, ends with ], and uses , (comma-space) as a separator (this is the same
format as python's str representation of a list). Each item of the list will be converted
to the type provided by the user in the "Value Type" drop-down. Do not add single of double
quotes to make an item a string.

Example

The DICOM tag ImageOrientationPatient (0020, 0037) is a list of 6 integers. If you want
this orientation to be head first-supine (HFS), it's value should be set to [1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0].
The "Value Type" should be set to str since this tag's Value Representation (VR) is
DecimalString (DS).

Bug fixes, save history, better window sizing

v0.5 (2020.04.09)

• Major rewrite for value enumeration to properly accommodate tags within a sequence
• Fixed bug where a 2nd input-directory browse could cause crash
• Ensure UIDs and random numbers generated in a session are unique from each other
• Better minimum window size management
• Optionally save edit history to csv file
• Let user set "force" kwarg in pydicom.read_file()
• Ignore files that are missing fhe following keyword properties:
  'StudyDate', 'StudyTime', 'PatientID', 'StudyID', 'SeriesNumber'

Tags in Sequences now editable & Maintain UID links

v0.4 (2020.04.05)

• Random number generator functions: vrand and frand
• Optionally set DICOM prefix and entropy source in "Advanced"
• Keep cross-file UID connections by updating "Referenced" tags
• Value functions no longer have an index parameter (parent DICOM elements don't have a value)

NOTE: Will post Windows executable later this week.

Threading & Dynamic Tag Editing

v0.3 (2020.03.31)

• Catch tag edit exceptions, display error log in window
• Reorganized code so it is easier to follow, lots of comments added
• Search for DICOM tags
• Values can be dynamically defined based on file_path or current tag values
• Thread file parsing with progress bar
• Ability to search sub folders

Templates, file name prepends, etc.

Changes

• Allow user to select a file to pre-populate the value input
• Update description key up for more intuitive update
• Save and load templates
• Custom prepend string for file names
• Misc. bug fixes

Executable requirements

• Windows 7 or later
• macOS 10.14 or later

Initial release

Quickly built this to let my coworkers edit DICOM tags without needing admin rights to install something and without knowing how to use python/pydicom.
