Hi Devon,
what you're proposing seems asymmetric to me, features are contained in a
layer folder,
but all rasters are grouped in a workspace folder instead?
Two alternative proposals:
- Have features in a layer folder, and the raster be top level
(symmetric top level layer representation, e.g. /layer
- Have all in a workspace folder, and then create a folder for the
vector layer, a direct overlay for rasters, e.g. a /workspace/layer
structure
By the way, what happens if one asks for multiple rasters or multiple
layers in general?
Cheers
Andrea
