keywords	change, modify, filename, file, name

Purpose

The module SetFileName allows for setting/overwriting the file name associated with an image in MeVisLab. This can be useful for images that are created synthetically but are actually derived from another image.

Usage

Simply enter a new file name and connect an image to the input, the output will automatically have the new file name set.

Tips

Changing the file name while an image is connected will generate an additional image notification, which can trigger unnecessary image calculations. To avoid this you can add an ImageClear module after any module that modifies the image (properties) and only update the output of ImageClear if all other changes have happened.
