The pic is deprecated, but it should still be able to load. Mitk just does not do anything on load, no error message.
The manual checklist are all dependant currently on .pic.gz datasets.
The following is shown at start (may be related):
Pre-loading library "liborg_mitk_gui_qt_ext" failed: "Cannot load library liborg_mitk_gui_qt_ext: (dlopen(liborg_mitk_gui_qt_ext.dylib, 5): image not found)"
Check your library search paths.
Pre-loading library "libCTKDICOMCore" failed: "Cannot load library libCTKDICOMCore: (dlopen(libCTKDICOMCore.0.1.dylib, 5): image not found)"
Check your library search paths.
