we already had this question a while ago... http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=C709F902-33B4-4F1D-BAAC-3F8F870C123C%40coin.hr&forum_name=pmapper-users the categories-layer relation is: layers are only enabled on the map if they themselves and their respective category are checked, and if they are defined visible for the current scale. If after a zoom the layer is into a scale where it should not be displayed (setting in the map file), it is just greyed out, and will get the normal color and become enabled when the scale is in the range of scale-denominators for the layer. If I uncheck the category then the layer checkboxes become grey (de-activated, but not unchecked), and the layer is disabled from the map. But neither unchecking a category will uncheck all layers below, nor will unchecking all layers uncheck the parent category. This I found the most logical behaviour of all studied possibilities (and I do not like other implementations I've seen so far). If it does not work like that, then it's a bug, otherwise it's a feature ;-) If anybody wishes a different behaviour then he/she is free to change this according to his/her preferences. armin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ pmapper-users mailing list pmapper-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pmapper-users
