Hi I have a few ideas on how to improve the model builder in processing: - Support for adding/attaching comments to any component. That would, for example, help explaining why a specific tool is used. Great for documentation purposes. - Open a model by just dropping it in QGIS. - Support for attaching external files with the processed results. That way, I could run a model and deliver the results to the client and have all the necessary documentation included automatically. - Support for sending an e-mail when the model has finished processing. - To me, the tools seem to use to much screen space. I can of course resize them, but I suggest that we make them as small as possible from start. - Support for undo/redo. - Removing an object by selecting it and hitting the delete button. - Make the tools hightlight necessary missing parameter input. - Support for writing to SQL Server, much like there already is support for writing to PostGIS. - I would like to see the number of features coming from each data set/component in every connection in the model.
What are your impressions of these suggestions? Are any of them already covered? Should I open tickets? Down the road, I would like to publish processing models in a web interface (not a view of the actual models, but an interface for managing and running them) , so that non-technical users can process and access the data, much like FME Server. I recently found wps4server. Would that be a possible way forward for this? I would like to use a simple web page for running the models and access the data.
