[udig-devel] [Fwd: Re: [Geotools-devel] uDig 0.2 is out!]
|
Some feedback (that we can place into Jira) - thanks Rueben
--- Begin Message ---
Hi,
Congradulations on the release. I was not feeling well today, so I spent
some time installing and trying udig 0.2 out. I was on a windows xp
system with java jre 1.4.2.
Few notes:
I like the splash screen: very pretty.
I had issues with the classpath (damn space in "Program Files") which
resulted in error dialogs when trying to open a map. The map would only
have the text "An error occured when creating this editor" on it.
When hitting the "Create default project" button, udig would hang. After
reading the help, I suspect this is because it was recursively searching
for 2 shapefiles in my windows home directory (there are none there). It
worked fine once I added some shapefile to %home%.
About the help: the "Local Registry Users Guide" link did not catch my
eye and I initially assumed that the help was just a place holder with
no content. I assume that this will have a nice "welcome to udig" on the
first page with a clear link to a getting started document in the
future.
After adding a shapefile datastore, nothing happened. It took me a while
to find the "refresh" button. (Also I assume a dialog to browse for a
shapefiles and other data will be added in the future).
The drawing of a forest inventory dataset (as a shapefile) that I am
working on was comparable to that for arcGIS 8.3 (10 000 polygons). This
was using the simple black outline style. Perhaps the progressive
rendering was just tricking me :)
I got an error when trying to add the atlas of canada wms. The
capabilities statement I tried was:
http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/atlaswms_en?VERSION=1.1.0&request=GetCapabilities
(as described on
http://atlas.gc.ca/site/english/dataservices/web_map_service.html)
I am looking forward trying 0.3, keep up the good work.
