Hello,

To filter only .dcm files in the WatchFolder for the ConQuest DICOM server, you can consider implementing a Lua script that checks the file extension before processing. While the ConQuest server does not have a built-in feature to filter by file extension, you can use Lua scripting to achieve this.

Here’s an example of how you might write a Lua script to check for .dcm files.

function IsDcmFile(filename)
  return filename:match("%.dcm$") ~= nil
end

function OnStoredInstance(instance, sopclass, transfer_syntax)
  if not IsDcmFile(instance) then
    Delete(instance)
    return
  end
  -- process the file as usual if it is a .dcm file
end

In this script, the IsDcmFile function checks if the given filename ends with .dcm. The OnStoredInstance function is called by the ConQuest server for each file in the WatchFolder. If the file is not a .dcm file, it is deleted; otherwise, it is processed as usual.

You would need to add this Lua script to your dicom.ini configuration under a new section [lua] and reference the script file using the ScriptFile parameter.

Please note that modifying server scripts and configurations should be done with caution and ideally tested in a safe environment before applying to a production system.
