[Insight-developers] GDCMImageIO::CanWriteFile()

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Jim,

	I don't see no objection. Be carefull though how you write it since in 
the examples we only copy the input filename to the output filename. We 
only change the input directory from the output directory. Therefore if 
you are reading a serie with no filename extension when writting you 
have to change both the output dir and the extension...

my 2 cents,
Mathieu

This will make it consistent with the rest of the toolkit where file formats trigger off extensions. I'd like to collect suitable extensions.  I like
