mapperf -m foo.map -x -m is map file -x executes fixes default mode just reports issues
Things it would do/report: - All shape files have up-to-date qix - Replace "init:epsg" entries in PROJECTION blocks with their proj4 literals and fill in the appropriate ows_ metadata to make up for the change - Convert .jpg, .png to .tif - Build overviews on .tif - Internally tile .tif - ...
