I didn't double-check in QGIS, but I'd suspect the default entries are 
WMS STYLES. In WMS, each Layer has at least one style called default 
by default (this is implicit in the WMS spec, not explicitly listed in 
GetCapabilities). If that's what QGIS is showing you then there is not 
much you can do about this from MapServer's end.


You could confirm this by creating named styles in your WMS (i.e. set 
GROUPs on some of your classes just for testing) and see if they show up 
at that same level in the QGIS interface:

Small correction: the default style does show up in the 
GetCapabilities for each Layer.

[mapserver-users] Extraneous Default Layers

2011-10-05 Thread SixDegrees
This may be a problem with QGis, but I may be missing something in my
Mapserver mapfile. The mapfile contains a number of layers, each with a
GROUP name. There are roughly 500 layers and a dozen groups.

When I load the mapfile via WMS, I see a list of group names. Clicking on
any of these opens it, and a list of the layer names is seen. I can click on
a layer name and load it. So far, no problems.

The layer names themselves, however, also expand when clicked, and contain a
1-item list named default. I would like to get rid of this list entry; it
serves no purpose, and confuses users. Selecting it also loads the named
layer.

I don't see that there's anything in the mapfile that would cause this;
groups aren't nested, and there is no explicit default name anywhere in
the file. If anyone knows how to get rid of this, I'd enjoy hearing.

Thanks.
