uDig should recognized organized directories of shapefiles
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: UDIG-1275
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1275
Project: uDIG
Issue Type: Bug
Components: shapefile
Affects Versions: UDIG 1.1.RC10
Environment: gnu/linux
Reporter: Adrian Custer
Some data sets are distrbuted as hierarchies of folders in which shapefiles are
present. UDig should recognize this when it is pointed at a directory and
provide users with a list of candidates.
For example, the frech BD_Carto sample product available here
http://www.ign.fr/rubrique.asp?rbr_id=2407&lng_id=FR
in its shapefile incantation, is organzied hierachically:
BD_CARTO>
ADMINISTRATIF/
EQUIPEMENT/
HABILLAGE/
HYDROGRAPHIE/
RESEAU_FERRE/
RESEAU_ROUTIER/
TOPONYMIE/
with each directory holding several shapefile groups. uDig should do the
minimal amount of crawling to recognize the layout and provide the user with a
straight forward way to import all or some of the files.
