Read DICOM files that don't have .dcm (or any) extension

[phil.cruz@…]

At our last meeting I told Zach I would report this, so here it is.

Some of the DICOM files that we regularly encounter don’t have an extension on the individual file name, and these can’t be read by the ChimeraX DICOM reader. The workaround is to add a .dcm extension to all the files, but it would be better if ChimeraX could read them directly.

Thanks,

Phil

This should be working as of ​this commit from a few weeks ago, but I forgot to close the ticket. Let me know if you're still having problems!
