I'm new to uDig, running Linux (Slackware), and wonder if what I see
is what should be expected. My data sources are local shapefiles
and PostGIS features (imported from shapefiles).
1. I don't get any information (no new tabs or windows appear)
when I select the "Info" tool and click on a polygon. Is
this a known problem for Linux?
There's an issue with the browser integration on linux you have to
set MOZILLA_HOME variable to something :P You should be able to
find the instructions online.
2. I cannot get the online help; I get a popup window titled
"Problems Opening Link" containing the message "Unable to
open web browser on {0}". Is there some way to specify an
external application (Firefox) as the web browser?
Hmmm. Eclipse allows you to do that but it seems we don't. Fixing
MOZILLA_HOME should fix this. There is also a way you can specify
the port of the server and then you could use firefox to hit that
port and view the help... Mind you you'd still have to go to online
help then open firefox.
3. I don't have the ArcSDE plugin and I don't need it. Can I tell
uDig not to go looking for it, otherwise the log file gets lots
of exception information about this?
THis has been fixed for the next version. You can also just delete
the net.refractions.udig.catalog.arcsde_* jar from the plugins
directory.
4. I wish the layer style composer would allow an unlimited number
of unique values rather than a maximum of 12. Then I could export
the SLD and customize it. I don't want to group text values.
Does this make sense?
Yeah this is a common request and we're working on it.
