Re: [udig-devel] Couple minor annoyances about RC12

Ok thanks a ton. I'll have to find another way to identify the home directory.

Alas, no.  Udig is on the same drive as my Home directory, but this is
interesting:

If I do:

Echo %HOMEPATH*

All I get is

IF I replace that part of the link with a straight path:

"c:\somedirectory\udig"

It works like a charm.

Could the issue be an improperly set %HOMEPATH% on people's machines?

RC12 is cool and does render stuff much faster. I'm about to launch a
pilot program converting some GT 2.0 (styled map pane) stuff to
Udig, so
you may be hearing more from me.  In the mean time, here are some
minor
annoyances with RC12:

1)  My start menu launcher doesn't work.  I know this has been
beaten to
death but I thought I would mention it.


I have recently found a new issue when uDig is not installed on the
same drive as the user's home.  Is this the case with you?

2) If you right click on the catalog, select import, data, files that
will pop up a browse window.  If you cancel that window, hit back,
then
go to files (again) and hit next all you get is a blank window.

Fair enough.  I've noticed that.


3)  Import a shape file and put it on a map.  Go back to import and
select several huge (I used .5 to one gig) shape files. After several
minutes of processing only the first layer indexed will be listed
in the
catalog.  This seems to only occur if you index several large
shps.  You
can get the layers listed by leaving the tab and coming back.  Once
listed they render fine.


Exellent bug.  We need a more efficient indexer.  It uses a ton of
memory.  That is probably the problem.  Often for large shapefiles I
still use the mapserver's indexing tool shptree I think is what it is
called.
