Hi Miklos and Matt, thank you for reporting that. This was indeed not intended :) I will take care of this. Actually we will rename the new function just as Matt suggested. It will be fixed in the release.

Although C++ allows function overloading with different return types if only the "const-ness" differs (e.g. for returning const and non-const iterators), I think the current case is a misuse. ;-) Miklos On 30 September 2013 17:02, Miklos Espak <esp...@gmail.com<mailto:esp...@gmail.com>> wrote: Also, there is a typo in line 157: case 3: viewDirectionString = "Orginal"; On 30 September 2013 16:53, Clarkson, Matt <m.clark...@ucl.ac.uk<mailto:m.clark...@ucl.ac.uk>> wrote: Hi there, mitk::SliceNavigationController now has itkGetEnumMacro(ViewDirection, ViewDirection); and const char* GetViewDirection(); which in our code, such as: mitk::SliceNavigationController::ViewDirection viewDirection = sliceNavigationController->GetViewDirection(); results in: error: cannot convert ‘const char*’ to ‘mitk::SliceNavigationController::ViewDirection’ in initialization I notice that GetViewDirection is not used that often. pwd /Users/mattclarkson/build/MITK Legolas:MITK mattclarkson$ grep -rl GetViewDirection * Core/Code/Controllers/mitkSliceNavigationController.cpp Core/Code/Controllers/mitkSliceNavigationController.h Modules/InputDevices/WiiMote/mitkWiiMoteVtkCameraController.cpp Modules/SegmentationUI/Qmitk/QmitkSlicesInterpolator.cpp and in all cases, its used as an enum? However, I can't see why code in QmitkSlicesInterpolator.cpp works, calling GetViewDirection and assigning it to an Enum, but in our code it does not work. But it also strikes me that mitk::SliceNavigationController should not have the same method name with two different return types. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I would rename the one that returns a const char* to GetViewDirectionAsString or similar.
