[Therion] Map-list output wishlist request

[Bruce Mutton]

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             Bulmer Cave
map                  2008-2009                     BulmerINDEX.th

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?
