[udig-devel] Feedback on walkthrough 1

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jesse,

Here is the kind of useless feedback you can get only from me ;-) Before 
you think is is all negative - I was able to run uDig for a full day of 
abuse without restarting - I really wish we were not hung up on edit 
tools as this is all a vast improvement from udig 1.0.6.

Cheers,
Jody

Add Layer from DnD
- No longer shows up as "Map 1" instead takes on the layer name of 
"Parks". This makes it hard to unambigously refer to things in the 
Project view (there are now two things called Parks).
- Add layers page where you select a layer has lost it wizard banner

Navigation Tools
- is refresh still needed?
- pan and zoom have a drop down menu but no other options available (it 
would be fun to shorten up our control if their our no more options). 
Only reason to keep it? If the drop down shows more information - and it 
does it lists the name of the command, however the tooltip for the 
command is not available from the drop down (it is when the tool is the 
one selected).
-- change tooltip to be two lines Name of Command / Description of Command
-- (optional) remove the drop down list if there is only entry - in 
order to save on the room taken up by the down arrow

Grouping of Layers in a WMS request
- I was able to get things out of sync by, dragging parks up above 
bathymetry, and changing its opactity. After that point the entire WMS 
was at 50%, changing it back to 100% resulted in two blocks (using Mylar 
to show this). Borders cities and parkers were one block and Bathymetry 
a second.

Catalog context menu
- the most common thing we do is add a layer to the current map; this 
options should be first and perhaps even be the default? As it is Julia 
accidently hit the first option and created a new Map.

Map graphic
- Scale bar is fun; but I can no longer change the style from the Style 
editor; even bringing up the style editor no longer works. Many layer
