Hi Dominik,

There isn't a way in KiwiViewer to control the individual transparencies
after you combine the meshes into one.  If the vertices have a 3 component
unsigned char array named "rgb_colors" then KiwiViewer will use that for
coloring, so you can combine your meshes and maintain separate coloring.

Hopefully we can add zip archive support to future versions.

Right now, my best advice is to use dropbox public urls, and use the .kiwi
file's ability to fetch datasets from url (as documented at the link
Aashish posted).  A public dropbox url would look like:

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10806793/brain_atlas_mri.mha

And you could robustly list multiple datasets like this.
