>From an initial code review this RFC is just covering the API. The shapefile "reference" implementation is using a properties file to jot down which string attributes are to be treated as a document.
I note that ArcView has similar similar functionality called a "hotlink"; they do not record the hotlink type in the DBF file; but instead jot down the information in their LYR file (similar to our SLD file). I am going to wait for the Document view and interface to settle down; and then check if I can use the GeoResource properties facilities (requested by John this week) as an alternate way of noting which attributes to treat as candidates for the document view treatment. I was also going to check if we could list the documents as a result of the Info tool? Since that is a nice way to point and click for a feature.-- Jody Garnett On Friday, 23 December 2011 at 3:45 PM, andrea antonello wrote: > Hi Paul, my +1 come from the heart.
