    • get rid of the manipulate icons in the mouse modes tool bar
  • pause not working with the mouse modes (ruler), neither is cancel
  • pushing changes to VTK
    • check in to Slicer/VTK github
  • Hierarchies
    • create default fiducial hierarchy, default ruler hierarchy when add first one
  • File formats
    • need to be able to generate programatically, open in Excel, R, etc.
    • use tab delimited, or comma delimited with quoted strings - comma
    • display options as comments is breakable, make comments separate, make display options columns
    • location information not in mrml scene file? will scene views work or will files get over written?
      • if it's external file, it's not restored in scene views - it's bulk data
      • inline storage? base 64 encoded
