Add local folder to VivoQuant as repository
Note: when loading data with an iPACS, this is the preferred method of opening data, rather than simply double clicking or dragging and dropping the data into the application.
VivoQuant has 3 types of repositories: Local Folder, DICOM server, and iPACS.
Each are added in the same dialogue, which can be reached from the data browser either by using the menu File > Data Browser, or by clicking the Data Browser button.
