Display name criteria improvement
Issue #577
wontfix
The combination of fields that are combined to produce a unique combination to enable display names to be allocated isn't unique enough for one of my systems. I'd like to add "Detector ID", tag 0018,700A to the fields that are used. Without this, two of the Fuji rooms at my Trust are indistinguishable using the current criteria.
I don't know how much of a headache it is to change the display name criteria.

I have just been reminded of this issue when trying to find images from a specific Fuji mobile system. I can’t do this with the current display name setup: I need “Detector ID” adding to the combination.

I have spoken to a helpful Fuji engineer who is going to update the station names on our systems. These are all set to the default of “fpd0”, or one of “RU0” or “ru0” at the moment. Once these are each set to something unique to the system then this issue goes away for me.

@David Platten - would you suggest we push this out to a later release, put it on hold, or mark it “won’t fix”? I don’t think it is important for this release? I don’t know if adding a field to unique-together will cause all the existing configuration of display names to be reset effectively?

I’m happy to mark this as “Won’t fix”. Our Fuji engineer colleagues are now giving each of our systems a unique Station Name, so the problem I was having has gone away.

This reason I raised this issue has gone away - see the comments on the issue.

For RDSRs a "Device Observer UID" should be present. I Would suggest to use this UID to uniquely identify a station. I know for non-rdsr imports this is not the solution, but for rdsrs it is. So use "Device Observer UID" if present, otherwise the current (or new) diplay name logic.
An advance is that the UID is the same as other parameters may change (like software version), so you don't need to map it again to the same display name (that can be handled automatically). This might also solve your Fuji room problem (if they send rdsrs).
