Hi, I know I have posted this before but I and currently doing some basic work and have resulted in multiple copies files ending up everywhere and thought I would stress the point.
As an example, I am attempting to create a polygon file from a CAD drawing showing mutually exclusive development zones. Basic vector data has been polygonised, cleaned, exported, split and remerged. I also used buffers to obtain exact distances from boundaries and used Sextante many times in the process. So... CAD --> intermediate files --> Polygon layer showing various mutually exclusive development zones. This resulted in... Actual project map directory where I attempted to push output but gave up due to continuous drilling down of the directory tree in dialog boxes and plug-ins, even when you choose the 'source' and 'destination' in the same dialog box ==> 14 shapefiles, 1 DXF file (original DWG) My 'Home' Directory (default location for some routines) ==> 11 shapefiles A temporary TEMP directory I created in my Home Directory because I was sick of the clutter ==> 4 shapefiles The default gvSIG/bin Directory (default location for some other routines) ==> 7 files Now this is just one aspect of my analysis yet it created 36+ files in multiple directories and requires time to clean up. gvSIG absolutely needs a PROJECT DIRECTORY and a TEMP DIRECTORY that all routines and plug-ins use as a default. At least in the short term, considering this would take time to implement, icons should be placed on the directory tree dialog that allows you to move to these directories quickly. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, Victoria 3020.
