Ohh.. Larry together with Paul you are really fighting about the
"programmer of the month" medal ;)
i love your proposal! (even because you are a better programmer than i am.
it is quite nice that you simply ask your inhouse customers, and if all
scream "yeeeeess", you can get some time for a needed feature.

I talked to our internal SkyJUMP users and they were excited about the
capability to get picture links on the map, so perhaps I can justify a
few hours of work time on the project.
Here are some ideas:
1. Use a URL stored in an attribute (ex: JUMP_LINK) to specify the
link target. JUMP_LINKS will work only on point features.
2. JUMP_LINK points could be styled with a special icon so the user
can find them.
3. A Link cursor tool could be put on the toolbar. It would activate
the link when a JUMP_LINK point is clicked.
4. The tool would probably just launch a web browser window to
display the link. This would work for documents of most common types
like pictures, html, pdf, and others.
5. For some special document types like jpeg that can be easily
handled by Java, the tool could generate a preview when the Link tool
hovers over a JUMP_LINK (as the Vista Taskbar does).
comments?

Hi Larry,
and thanks for the explanation.
I think Stefan was talking about storing an http
hyperlink in a
feature attribute. Making a hyperlink cursor tool
that looks for this
hyperlink attribute and launches a web browser
window when the feature
is clicked is not too difficult. It might take me a
day or two.
**************************
The tool would basically look at the text inside the
link attribute
and launch the appropriate program based on the
data. For instance,
it could launch a picture viewer if the link
attribute contained the
path to a jpeg.
Is this what you envisioned?
I was really think about this kind of tool. This is
an old Ravi's question that I put forward. I also
think it would be usefull for many kinds of userd
(geologists, foresters, etc) who works a lot with
photoes.
