+Orthanc Explorer 2 plugin
+=========================
+
+.. contents::
+
+   
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This plugin provides a new User Interface (UI) to Orthanc.  It aims at being
+more user-friendly, more configurable and more evolutive than the default
+Orthanc UI which was developed mainly for testing/administrative purpose.

+|
+
+Note that a major difference between the legacy UI and Orthanc Explorer 2 (OE2)
+is that OE2 works only at the study level, not the patient level.  The main page is
+the study list in which, of course, you can apply a filter to display only the studies of a single patient.
+
+
+How to get it ?
+---------------
+
+The source code is available on `GitHub <https://github.com/orthanc-server/orthanc-explorer-2>`__.
+
+Binaries are included in:
+
+- The `osimis/orthanc Docker image <https://hub.docker.com/r/osimis/orthanc>`__
+- The `Windows Installer <https://orthanc.osimis.io/win-installer/OrthancInstaller-Win64-latest.exe>`__ (only for 64bits platform)
+- The `MacOS packages <https://orthanc.osimis.io/osx/stable/orthancAndPluginsOSX.stable.zip>`__
+
+Release notes are available `here <https://github.com/orthanc-server/orthanc-explorer-2/blob/master/release-notes.md>`__.
+
+Depending on the configuration, the plugin can replace the default Orthanc UI you are redirected to when accessing orthanc at `http://localhost:8042/ <http://localhost:8042/>`__.
+In any case, the new and old UI can coexist:
+
+- Orthanc Explorer 2 is available at `http://localhost:8042/ui/app/ <http://localhost:8042/ui/app/>`__
+- Legacy UI remains available at `http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html <http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html>`__
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+.. highlight:: json
+
+The plugin must be configured through a configuration file.  The minimal configuration to include in your orthanc configuration file is::
+
+  "OrthancExplorer2" : {
+    "Enable": true,
+    "IsDefaultOrthancUI": true
+  }
+
+There are many more options that are documented in the 
+`default configuration file <https://github.com/orthanc-server/orthanc-explorer-2/blob/master/Plugin/DefaultConfiguration.json>`__.
+
+Main features you can configure:
+
+- Root URL
+- Whether OE2 becomes the default Orhtanc UI
+- Configure the side menu
+- Configure the actions available on the resources
+- Configure the columns of the main study list
+
+
+Advanced features
+-----------------
+
+You may open the OE2 interface directly on a specific study or patient by specifying DICOM Tags directly in the URL.
+e.g::
+
+    http://localhost:8042/ui/app/#/filtered-studies?PatientID=00000169
+    http://localhost:8042/ui/app/#/filtered-studies?StudyDate=20220512-20220513&ModalitiesInStudy=CR\DX
+    http://localhost:8042/ui/app/#/filtered-studies?StudyInstanceUID=1.2.826.0.1.3680043.8.498.12876244982176669645076277115728403867
+
+
+
+Roadmap
+-------
+
+Main elements of the roadmap are listed hereunder (not in the order of implementation):
+
+- Multiple language support
+- Mobile friendly
+- Allow edition of DICOM Tags
+- Query-retrieve interface for dicom-web servers & remote DICOM servers
+- Open other viewers from UI (Radiant, Osirix, MedDream, OHIF, ...)
+
+A full list of `ideas` is stored directly in the repository's `TODO <https://github.com/orthanc-server/orthanc-explorer-2/blob/master/TODO>`__
