Continuing the theme of list outputs…
Does anyone see the need for a list output file that
expands on and compliments the tree view of maps available in the Map Structure
pane of the XTherion compiler window?
I’m just noticing that I have 46 maps/sub-maps
for a 3.5km cave (that is moderately complex) and it will have a reasonable
number more before it’s done. Generally my naming convention keeps them in
order for me, but I can see that an output listing them will make management easier
and more reliable. There is only so much information that can be
encapsulated in an object name, and if too much is included it is prone to user
error.
My suggestion is (using the existing html list
outputs as a basis) that the table be hierarchical/collapsible in the same way
as the existing ‘caves’ and ‘surveys’ outputs.
The column outputs could be;
id projection [spec] title object
type date author
defined
(ie
survey/scrap/map) (in
which object/file?)
bulmer elev 270
deg
late08 elev 270
deg Late08
Series map 2008 .\Late08\Late08INDEX.th
rm elev 270
deg survey
rm map 2008 .\Late08\SurveyRM.th
Late08RMPlan_s1 elev 270
deg scrap 2008 RBM .\Late08\RMElev.th2
Late08RMPlan_s2 elev 270
deg scrap 2009 MB .\Late08\RMElev.th2
Similarly, perhaps an ‘id’ column could be added to the ‘caves’
and ‘surveys’ output lists, as I expect Therion requires an id, but
the titles are probably optional;
And while I’m at it, the ‘surveys’
output could also include a ‘date’ and ‘author’ column.
Thoughts anyone?
