Hello, I downloaded latest 4.1.6 beta and tried to play with the new "custom PACS search fields" syntax

here'se the code I edited in the pacs.xml file.
probably there's some mistake in it since I don't notice any difference in the GUI after adding the custom <srcfields> lines.

would you please check my code and provide a screenshot of where the GUI should show the changes?


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<pacs>
<listener ae="RADIANT_PACS" port="11112" />
<hosts>
<host name="STORE" ae="STORE" ip="157.226.12.147" ts="1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.70" port="5000" maxassoc="1" allpres="1" search="1" />
</hosts>
<srcfields>
<i id="00081070" n="Operators&apos; name" h="Enter operators&apos; name..." la="1" ta="1"/>
</srcfields>
</pacs>

Hi, Tommy. This should go into the options.xml file :-)

which one? options.xml inside AppData or ProgramData?

I added the following code at the end of the .xml

....
<pacs>
<!-- define additional PACS search fields -->
<srcfields>
<i id="00081070" n="Operators&apos; name" h="Enter operators&apos; name..." la="1" ta="1"/>
<!-- id - DICOM tag id, n - name, h - hint, la - add leading asterisk, ta - add trailing asterisk -->
</srcfields>
</options>


but nothing changed...

Works for both locations of the options.xml file.
The custom search fields are added to the combobox with "Patient name", "Patient ID", "Accession number", etc.

strange... I still don't see any "Operator's name" in that dropdown list...

here's the entire options.xml file I edited.
probably there's some error in the code...

oh... nevermind... I just figured out what was wrong...
I needed to "close" the <pacs> code with </pacs>

Exactly ;-)

I wonder if this could be hacked in some way to create "search presets"

like "show all MR from today" or "show all DR from last week" etc. etc.

Sorry Tommy, there is no such hack...

fixed in 4.1.21 beta.
thanks!!!
