No text input field for the format option into the Outputformat object properties I worked with the "tutorial.map". I selected the OutputFormat object into the object browser view. There is no input text field for the format option into the object properties view. Redhat 7.2, Firebird 0.7, Chameleon cvs 10/16/2003, MapLab cvs 10/14/2003
Format options are related to Outputformat objects like Metadata are related to Layers. To add a format option, you use the "Create New Object" menu and add one. It will then be displayed in the Outputformat object under the Format Options: heading. This behaviour is by design, so I am changing this to an enhancement request. Please outline an alternative user interface.
I would recomend having a button in the properties frame to add a new image type, (or MetaData for the metadata object). This button could always be in the properties view, and would be after existing image types. | image type one | | image type 2 | [+ add an image type] Another option would be to start out with a blank field in the interface which would more closely resemble other objects... I know that this is different because we are representing several objects in the same frame, but it might make sense from a user's perspective. | | [+ add an image type]
I didn't realize it was an object. I saw this field label without any text field area and I jumped to the conclusion that there was something missing here. And when I was executing this test in relation with the MapServer documentation and the format option is not considered as an object. I don't necessarily mean that the way it is working now is not correct. I mean creating a new format option by creating a new object under OutputFormat object. About Fred comments, tell me if I'm wrong, the image type you are talking is corresponding to the output format?
Additional comment: The format option is present into the object properties view but no format option object is present into the object browser view. Maybe it was why I supposed the format option was simply a text fiel area.
correction to my previous comment. I was refering to the format option object, not the image type object... so the button would be [+ add format optuion]
