There is a lot of "dead/unused space" in the ACCOUNT, Treatment and Chart modules on the far right hand side. Can a Pt Picture be added there. It would be helpful especially in the Chart area. Is that an option at all in OD?
Re: Patient Picture
It is not currently an option within Open Dental but would be a fine feature request to add.

Re: Patient Picture
Jason...
Are there any future plans to use all that extra real estate on the right side of the screen for something useful? Is there a reason is it not being utilized?

Re: Patient Picture
It is not being utilized because we support a variety of different monitor resolutions.
Our minimum size supported resolution as of 17.1 is 1280 x 768, but prior to that, the chart module was designed for 1024 x 768 resolution.

Re-designing the chart (or any other windows) to make use of the extra space caused by using a high resolution monitor is a fine feature request to add.
There are many feature requests to be done and new additions are constantly being added to the program.
Encouraging others to vote on your feature request will push it up the list and allow it to get done at a sooner date.

Re: Patient Picture
The short answer is a loose "no" and to see Allen's post above for the detailed response to your inquiry.Pruce Dental wrote:Are there any future plans to use all that extra real estate on the right side of the screen for something useful? Is there a reason is it not being utilized?
However, we've been actively researching other frameworks that would benefit Open Dental from a graphical user interface perspective. The most appealing so far has been Windows Presentation Foundation. This will be a significant undertaking (or overhaul depending on how it is approached) and so we're trying to get everything sorted out before we jump into the water with both feet. The WPF framework will not only be a good conduit for helping "the right side of the screen" but also font sizes throughout the program which happens to be our #1 feature request.

Re: Patient Picture
Just to add a little more insight to Allen and Jason's comment, here at OpenDental HQ we do use our software for our day to day operations and the majority of us are using two 1920x1080 monitors. So we are aware of certain places in the program that it would be nice to utilize that extra horizontal space. We'd love to spend some programming time to make OD more usable for wide screen resolutions, but just like with all other cool things we'd like to add to the program there are an endless number of feature requests we are trying to work on to improve the program for all our users.
Re: Patient Picture
I have entered it as a feature request:
ADDING PATIENT PICTURE TO OTHER AREAS OF OPEN DENTAL MODULES
In several of the other modules there is a large empty space on the right hand side of the screen. It would be helpful if the patient picture showed up there as well as the Family area to quickly allow association between patient and chart. Sometimes it is easier to recognize a patients face and then know their teeth/treatment. This should be an easy fix to add an image box associated with an already loaded image.
In the ACCOUNT module it can be a small Vertical image box just under the Family Financial block.
In the TREATMENT module it can be a small Vertical image box to the right of Set Priority.
In the CHART it can be a small Vertical image box just beside the Enter Treatment box.
This would be very helpful. thank you!
