I know I will regret that later, but for now Application are part of GDCM Naming convention, pretty much the same used for tiff (tiffinfo and tiffdump), we have gdcmdump, gdcminfo (should I rename them dcmdump. dcminfo ? but it will collide with dcmtk...) TODO: I have this file: acc-max.dcm it's pretty much a ACR-NEMA file, but it contains Modality. It would be great if gdcmconv would handle this file and generate a file that would make dciodvfy happy
