Aah, dicomdir. This is something we leave to AMIDE, which is better suited
and uses the established dcmtk toolkit.

(X)MedCon is really only capable of reading just one file (although with
multiple images), like it was usual in nuclear medicine some decades ago.

Most other DICOM modalities are multiple files for multiple instances,
sometimes referenced in a dicomdir file. My poor amateurish (X)MedCon
coding decisions won't handle that. Sorry, I am afraid it will stay that
way.

Cheers,
Erik

Kind regards
