bobb,
Sorry the help document is not available, I will try my best to write it
recently.
1. version of mapserver the mapfile for: just like 5.0 5.2 5.2.1 or 5.4, as
Mapserver does
2. goto menu "Tools->Options" then choose "System Directories" tab, check the
checkbox at the top, and click the botton right of the first text box, locate
to Mapserver Utilities folder, say "D:\ms4w\tools\mapserv\shp2img.exe", then
wait a while it will correct all other directories to point to the right folder.
3. Could you explain with more words what's the meaning of "Highlighting
comments "?
4. A web version is not in my plan, because there are already several choices.
But I do consider to implement the function of menu item "Map->Publish" with
MS4W as a underlying environment.
5. All MSCompanion does is write a Mapfile for Mapserver's use, it changes
nothing but the mapfile authoring method. Generally you can check the result
mapfile to find the source of problems and go to the right place fix it.
By the way, paths such as MAP->SHAPEPATH, LAYER->DATA in the the result mapfile
can be relative or obsolute path, you can set it at Gerneral Tab of "MAP
Properties" dialog. Keep in mind when you move the result mapfile to other
production environment, you must keep the right relationship between this paths.
I don't know if these words can answer your question.
Thank you foe your message.
Good luck,
Enri.
Enri,
Looks interesting from a first glance. Very comprehensive.
First things I noticed (because you asked):
How do you define what version of MapServer the Mapfile is for? I did find the
"Default Version of MapServer entry, what should the entry look like? Just the
version number? Some hint next to the entry form would be good.
How does a user change the drive leter. I had MS4W installed on the "D" drive.
It all worked after I manually switched the drive letter in all the entry form
slots.
Highlighting comments (or even highlighting all aspects, function/data) would
help.
Did you think about building a Web version at all.
I still haven't figured out how to connect to my mapserver (which is in a
different location than the MS4W install) for the image display. I keep
getting a "Invalid image size" error.
Still looking . . . .
Really nice so far though. Thanks for the effort.

Hi,
Several months ago, I planned to contribute a mapfile editor to you, the
Mapserver community. After many overnights' hard work, the first alpha version,
a totally WYSWYG mapfile editor - MSCompanion is finally available now. Please
find it at http://code.google.com/p/mscompanion/ and check if it can help you.
Also I am waiting for your response and suggestion.
