Details

Description

User imported a shapefile and expected to see something, our workflow needs to be what user expects....

jrmacgill: no joy getting a shapefile into it though
Jody Garnett: Cool, any hitches with the install process?
Jody Garnett: Oh no - the download included some.
Jody Garnett: What platform are you on?
jrmacgill: windows XP, Java 5
Jody Garnett: Sounds good to me.
Jody Garnett: What happens with the shapefiles?
jrmacgill: dunno, I tried - import, shapefile - browse, picked one. click finish. wait, wait, dialog closes, no change
Jody Garnett: :O
Jody Garnett: That just brought it into the catalog
jrmacgill: ah
Jody Garnett: You still need to create a Project and a Map inorder to see it.

jmacgill: my first shot was to go new layer
jmacgill then I found I needed a map so I went 'new map'
jmacgill then I found I needed a project, so I went 'nwe project'
jmacgill then did the map
jmacgill then went for a layer, and was stuck wehn the 'new layer' dialog asked me to pick a layer

jgarnett Sounds like quite the naming problem there.

- masked by including the catalog view visiable by default (the first shapefile the user imports will be visability present)
