Re: [Xastir] Feature Request re: Shapefile maps
I wonder how this plays with caching - is the caching code aware of modification times on files? Is there a per-file way to turn of caching? -Jason kg4wsv ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
Re: [Xastir] Feature Request re: Shapefile maps
I've already written the script for this, so that piece is complete. The files are not 0 bytes in length. They're actually 100 bytes in length. When you dump them they show 0 objects, which Xastir must figure to ignore. Putting a dummy with some objects in the file, makes them show up long enough to tick them off in the Map Chooser, then you can put back the 0 object files.

Xastir would have to accept zero length as a legit file. Now, there would have to be some way of forcing a map regen to update these files. I know that when I get down to county level, the rendering does take a bit. This would be a good help at displaying SBW's since they are not coming over WXSVR, at least here.
