Gordon has the money shot...however, I have noticed some problems with setting up the feature sources in Maestro using alias connections (both file and folder). Basically, when you set up a connection to an alias using the "Single" feature type, the path is correctly displayed. But when you do the same connection to an alias using the "Composite" feature type, the path to the alias is incorrect. See attached screenshots. The following example is what composite connections display:
Aerials\2011Aerials\ECW_2000x3000/620751871.ecw I believe The last slash should be a forward slash "\" not a backward slash "/". I found this problem with Maestro versions 3.5, 4, and 5. I think I isolated this as being my problem over the last couple of days with not getting GDAL to work properly (and have a couple of more gray hairs to show for it). I am not sure if there is a ticket yet or something that has just been overlooked for a while. Also, another FYI...I found that when you "Preview" the feature source of alias files from Maestro and click on "View Data", it may display "Total Entries: 0" but will also display a list of the file paths. This is good. If it displays "Total Entries: -1" this is bad. With file system connections it seems to display the correct number of files and the names of the files (no path) as long as the provider is installed and MGOS is configured correctly. The other way to make sure that everything is set up properly (this probably goes without saying) is save your feature source and then create a layer based on that feature source...when you preview the layer, your raster(s) should be rendered properly. I hope this helps. -Steve http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/file/n4998405/single.png http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/file/n4998405/composite.png -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Step-by-Step-for-ECW-and-MGOS-2-4-tp4995445p4998405.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
