Hi Again, Actually, i think with my latest modifications to the CanVec data status import chart, As long as the folder where these .osm.zip files can be found is listed, the actual file name is irrelevant. Especially if these zip files are stored on different servers, as long as the link still works it should be fine.
I think all the relevant details, are already listed in the chart. And for the big (always pressing) question about how to deal with updates of canvec data. I think that it would just be a matter of local preference. I will be able to (and planning on) creating a more smarter script that will be able to look at the download directory and check the date .... but for now, this manual way is fine :-) (does anyone know how todo that? (not using ibuntu) :) Cheers, Sam Twitter: @Acrosscanada Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 1:25 PM, Sam Vekemans <acrosscanadatra...@gmail.com>wrote: > Thanks, > Does anyone know how to create a little java program that can take > details from the .xml file, and the .htm file and rename the folder > with select details? > I dont know how todo that in DOS (if its possable) either. > > Sam > > On 9/21/09, Brent Fraser <bfra...@geoanalytic.com> wrote: > > Sam, > > > > Each CanVec tile has a date in its XML metadata (in the > > <lineage><srcinfo><srctime> tag).
