16.3. Behavior

In this section, you can set up the parameters that can alter the behavior of the program:

• Allow to close the application running as different users. The option is disabled by default. To activate the parameter, the DICOM Viewer has to be launched by a user with administrator privileges. Users without administrator privileges cannot check or uncheck this box. In such a case, a warning message will pop up.

  It is recommended to activate the parameter if there are several user accounts in the system. After the parameter is activated, the program launched by one user may be closed during a different session by a different user.

  The parameter cannot be set up on macOS.

• Launch the viewer from the context menu. The parameter enables/disables loading and opening DICOM studies in the program via the Explorer context menu. The initial setting is provided by the user in the Extended parameters window when installing the DICOM Viewer (see Fig. 7).

  The parameter cannot be set up on Linux or macOS.

  The parameter can be changed for the current user or for all the OS users. To change the parameter for all the users, the DICOM Viewer has to be launched by a user with administrator privileges. In this case, the parameter will be called Launch the viewer from the context menu (for all users).

  The parameter set for all the users can only be disabled after the program is launched by a user with administrator privileges.

• Close to tray (the Show system tray icon box) and minimize to tray (the Minimize to tray box).

• Launch the viewer automatically when the user logs in. The option is disabled by default.

  If several DICOM Viewer versions or editions were installed on the OS, then when the option is enabled, only the current DICOM Viewer version and edition will be launched automatically.

  If you want the DICOM Viewer to be minimized to the system tray after the automatic launch, the Show system tray icon and Hide at launch (the ";Show system tray icon"; option must be activated) options must be activated.

• Anonymous statistics collection (telemetry) function can be activated/deactivated. Telemetry function provides an opportunity to collect anonymous statistics in order to improve the product.
