Hi everybody, I have been working a bit on a small and simple application that shall facilitate the maintenance and creation of map files. It is not intended to be the 10th map file editor. Instead, it shall allow the creation and updating of map files based on already existing components (layers, basic parts, etc).
It is more designed for users who have some experience with Mapserver and the map files themselves. You should also take care that the application has to be well hidden from internet users because it could allow to easily overwrite and destroy existing map files, if tyhe application is not protected against abuse. I say that just in case you want to blame me for lost data :-). The usage is intended for people who know what they do. In this context also no confirmation of overwriting of existing files is requested. So use it at your own risk. I use it only on an intranet on a protected site. It is also not really multi-user capable, at least users might easily overwrite settings of someone else. But after all, I do not want to completely discourage you of using it... Any feedback is welcome. Interested users can download a first version at http://www.pmapper.de/dl/mapfilemanager-2005-10-18.zip The documentation is very basic but I hope the usage will be somehow self-explaining. You can start with sample files in the application. They are based on the map file in the pmapper demo application. Armin
