I looked at the tutorial. What I noticed is that changing the attributes is
done by first choose Edit Geometry, than choose Edit and the Default Feature
Editor is shown. Changing the attribute this way is working correctly
because my own FeatureWriter (but I think also FeatureWriters of other
datastores) noticed that the Geometry is changed. This way also the
different between the attributes can be written back to, in my case the
database.
But I wanted to be sure if I see things the right way. If I do not use Edit
Geometry, but select the Info icon on the toolbar. Click on a geometry to
make the Default Feature Editor visible (or active). Changing attributes
that way and next commit them to write them back to the datastore will not
trigger the FeatureWriter that a Feature is changed. The geometry is not
marked as being changed (like Edit Geometry does).
The info tool is read only, it does not use a feature writer. I admit we
used the same view for showing the
attribute values, if it is letting you edit (or have the appearance of
editing) then this is a bug.
Is this true or not?
true, as the tool is for inspecting not editing data. Now that said
there should probably be a way to go between
the two and the visual appearance should be different to make what is
going on obvious.
Am I understanding what you are doing correctly?
