Hi all,
I would like just to add a couple issues to Adrian's feedback,
which arises
from my experience working on editting tools lately
1) Table view.
Table view has become a table editor. Thus it would be very useful to:
a) being able to open more than one view (like the "new console
view" option
in eclipse's console view)
b) stick a view to a layer, so one is able of changing the current
layer
without loosing the currently being editted attribute set
c) some way to "update batch" a given attribute for the selected
features.
Like for setting the street_code to the selected street segments.
I agree and am making JIRAs. Although FYI some of these issues won't
make 1.1.0 (I'm sure you're not surprised).
2) Toolbar and menus
This issue is to a large degree preference. Right now the "Actions"
are in one toolbar and the Tools are in the other. Richard has a
project that requires being able to configure the toolbar using
extensions in the plugin.xml so I think I'm going to leave this and
allow people to define their own configurations for their app based
on their preference. One thing we could do is define a couple
configurations and present that in preferences.
3) Edition control
Adrian spoke about being able to draw vertical/horizontal lines
while creating
a geometry. I think the topic goes beyond to the point that, while
editing
geometries, it is necessary to combine different techniques, thus the
selection of a feature creation/modification tool should set a
"mode", in
order that other context sensitive "modifiers" can be used.
Examples:
- being editing a line and set an "ortho" mode which only allows
horizontal
and vertical lines, or even enabling the drawing of line segments
orthogonal
to another one from another feature.
- being editing a line and set the edition mode temporarily
parallell to
another, existing one.
- while adding vertices to a line, draw an arc and then
continue
adding straight segments.
of course there are much more possible examples. AutoCAD is the
most feature
rich app I know on this regard.
Fair enough. I've added a JIRA
4) Transaction handling
The commit buttong is always enabled, even if there are no open
transaction.
Same for rollback. It could be usefull to have a transaction log
view, so one
could visualize what's pending.
I know :P I'm pretty sure there is an issue. I'll make sure that is
schedule for fix soon.
5) Enabling selection on multiple layers.
This one seems like a key requirement in order to leverage the current
platform interactions to be reused on editting tools and geoprocessing
operations. Though implementation details are a topic for another
thread, I
guess we should agree that multiple layers with a selection set are
needed.
Let's discuss the how later. So far, commenting out the else clause
with
layer.setFiler(Filter.ALL) in MapImpl makes the trick by now
(except clear
selection starts to missbehave a little)
This is being addressed as we speak.
Thanks to you too for the feedback. I've got all the JIRA's made up
now.
