Per this thread: ​http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Out-of-Order-SelectionPanel-js-td5288902.html

I tried reproducing the problem with data provided by Gordon. It turns out that the layer properties I'm selecting to show does not match the generated XML in terms of display order.

A nice feature in QGIS with thematic rules is that you can obtain feature counts of each theme rule to determine what is actually being used.

This would be a nice feature to have in Maestro

As our user guide is built with Sphinx and restructured text, we can easily have an online version hosted on readthedocs

Now that appveyor is creating prerelease nuget packages, they should be uploaded to nuget.org

Original Link: https://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/768

Before layers can be served as WMS they must have the bounds info applied. Since the bounds info should be in EPSG:4326, it is non-trivial for the user to calculate these.

Since MapGuide exposes coordinate transformation functions, Maestro should be able to convert the boundsing coordinates from the layer/featuresource and create the corresponding EPSG:4326 coordinates.

Now that we've netstandard-ized the MaestroAPI, we should have a TravisCI config to test this under Linux

The 6.0m6 SDK package is lighter because in the process of porting our test suites to NUnit 3, we lost the ability to run the integration test parts as we no longer have the ability to make a dedicated NUnit console runner executable.

We either need to find out how to make a dedicated console runner in the NUnit3 world or:

1. Get the integration tests running again using just the standard NUnit 3 console runner
2. Find a way to package the required binary assets so that SDK users can once again run integration tests against providers generated with the ProviderTemplate tool.

Add a filter to the New Resource Dialog that only shows the latest schema versions of each resource type.

The recent 6.0m7 release initially worked well by allowing an API key to be added for Bing maps. However, the <VirtualEarthScript> value of "http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2" is referencing a script that no longer exists. More information here.

The Default Path field and the Edit/Delete? buttons beside it does nothing. Nothing references them, and no event handlers are wired up to the buttons

Even though the HTTP connection provider is now built-in, the ConnectionProviderRegistry still blows up if ConnectionProviders.xml present.

This is due to code in the static constructor that will still implicitly look for a ConnectionProviders.xml in the same directory as the MaestroAPI assembly and load all registered providers from it.

This code fragment show be offloaded to an explicit init action where applications that need to use these other providers can call as part of application startup.

We should look at making at least the MaestroAPI portions netstandard-compatible so it can be used in .net Core, Xamarin, etc.

• Must be netstandard compatible
  • OSGeo.MapGuide.MaestroAPI
    • Target netstandard2.0
    • Move incompatible classes out of MaestroAPI to either a full-framework bridge assembly or to the project where the type is primarily consumed
  • OSGeo.MapGuide.ObjectModels
    • Target netstandard2.0
    • Address issues reported by ApiPort
    • ApiPort: Do not use System.Drawing primitives (Point/Font/etc)arious UIs, use new BindingList<T>(originalList)
  • OSGeo.MapGuide.MaestroAPI.Http
    • Target netstandard2.0
    • Merge into MaestroAPI itself. This is to simplify the consumption story in .net core.
• Nice to be netstandard compatbile
  • OSGeo.FDO.Expressions
    • Target netstandard1.6
    • Need a netstandard-compatible version of Irony (found one!)
• Verify existing SDK story still works

This is a problem that's been in Maestro since the beginning. If you make a map and then make some groups, you'll find that you can't properly drag the groups. In fact, you can't even drag the layers to reorder them - despite the graphics which make it look like it will work. For layers you have to use the up/down buttons - which do nothing for groups.

So, if you drag a group folder and want to put it above another group, it will drop it inside the top-most group, and there's no way to get it outside of that group without dragging it to another one. Even if you get the dividers in the right spot, it won't drop a group between other groups - it always puts it inside.

When validating a Map Definition, Maestro should collect the number of unique colors found in all referenced Layer Definitions. If the total is > 256 or a color FDO expression was detected (implying a variable number of different colors), report a warning that the Map Definition may not be suitable for rendering as PNG8 images.

Review the Maestro codebase for localization related issues:

• Mark lines containing unlocalizable string literals with NOXLATE, making future localizable string hunting easier.
• Move localizable string literals into their respective resx file
• Where possible, externalize frequently used string literals into a string constant of a StringConstants? utility class.
• Refactor out any format strings with locale-specific information. (eg. Coordinate position)
• Move strings in Resources.resx into a separate Strings.resx resource, to make such items easier to distinguish during the localization process
• Refactor the file picker filter strings to the form {0}(*.{1})|*.{1} , where {0} is the locale-specific file type and {1} is the extension.

As we have lost svn externals in the migration process, we need a simple script to setup svn checkouts at the locations where they are expected or just bite the bullet and include those files as well

• CS-Map Dictionaries (http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/csmap/branches/14.01/CsMapDev/Dictionaries)
• Assorted test data required by the MaestroAPI tests (http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/trunk/MgDev/UnitTest/TestData)

It's a bug in tree node selection where it's not considering selected Tile Sets

I've been encountering cases where when initially building the WMS configuration document that their spatial contexts are presented in the form EPSG:XXXX

In such cases, having an action that auto-infers the coordinate systems (because we can get coordinate systems by EPSG) and applies them would be very convenient.

If the user saves a layerdefinition after this bug is in place (usually not apparent to the user), they will lose the layer style for that theme/scale range. Thanks for looking into this.

Hi,

A couple of minor edits to scale ranges to catch unexpected behaviour:

• 1. When using the "Generate" button and the 'Exponential' method the scale ranges start at the 'Min Scale' but do not end at the 'Max Scale' - if I set a max I expect that to be preserved. I think the "Number of Scales" is generating but missing the top end max scale which is not added in again as it would make numscales +1

• 2. When manually editing a 'Display Scale' list and saving the list the Map is not invalidated (*) so it is easy to close and loose changes

• 3. It maybe just me but unless I run full-screen I cannot see the 'Generate' button, the scaling/position of the controls seems not to update if you shrink a window

Implement a new addin for browsing the WFS/WMS services exposed by the MapGuide Server.

Current idea is simply for a tree-style explorer interface based on the respective WFS/WMS GetCapabilities? responses to see what layers have been published for WFS/WMS.

This feature doubles as a nice way to verify if publishing a resource for WFS/WMS consumption has succeeded.

Currently, we are leaking out GeoAPI from MaestroAPI to downstream consumers because we are leaking out IGeometry and ICoordinateSystem in our various public APIs.

To simplify usage of Maestro API (and to make the netstandard porting effort simpler), we should provide wrapper classes around these 2 interfaces

There is only an input box in the application definition form for a Yahoo Maps API key, in Maestro 5.1, but not one for a Google API key in either version.

There is a box indicated in the help documentation for 5.1 for both API keys.

We used to make a zip release of Maestro (along with installer and SDK) that was just Maestro without the local connection mode and IronPython scripting engine. This was for running on Linux via Mono (at your own risk).

Our current AppVeyor setup doesn't produce this particular artifact.

I am running mapguide maestro on a Windows 2008 Server and whenever I try to preview a map or a layer, is does not show and returns a error message 'Specified method is not supported'.... Please help me solve this issue.

Work is already being done to make sure Fusion switches over to the apikey-based service.

http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/changeset/2971/sandbox/adsk/3.2o

To make sure Maestro can create/edit Fusion layouts with this change in place, we need to:

• Remove existing Bing (VirtualEarth) layer types.
• Add Bing Maps equivalent layer types to the UI. NOTE: When saving, the Fusion base layer type is still VirtualEarth
  • Aerial
  • Road
• Provide a field to enter the Bing Maps API key. When saving, put this value into a top-level BingMapKey extension element of the Application Definition. When loading, load the API key into the field from this location if it exists.
• Optionally/Ideally:
  • If we load an appdef and it has references to the old Bing (VirtualEarth) layers, raise some kind of warning about this.
  • Detect this case in the Maestro resource validator.

Move all wiki content referenced from (https://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro) to here.

After Map Previewing a layer with "Preview Resource", Maestro will freeze the next time we are opening a resource (map, layer, feature source,...)

Reported here: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Maestro-Feature-Upgrade-problem-td5305534.html

We're using Maestro (5.1 and 6.0b4) to upgrade some feature schema from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0.

After schema upgrade the HYPERLINK info are completely lost.

The block <Url> <Url>if('"ID" = ''707'' OR "ID" = ''648''', Concat('gdt_redirectNpages.php?&amp;npages=2'))</Url>

 </UrlData> 

so hyperlinks have to be restored manually.

Here is an example of the schema before and after upgrade :

The source code headers still point to the old MapGuide Trac instance. They need to be updated to this GitHub URL.

Now that Maestro is on GitHub, let's set up AppVeyor for CI

• Get it working!
• Slap an AppVeyor badge on README.md
• Get it to build user documentation (via sphinx) and API documentation (via SHFB)
• If possible, get it to auto-publish artifacts for GitHub releases
  • Need to use release tag name as the version label for installer
• Setup code coverage with OpenCover
  • Publish results to coveralls

The mg-desktop wrapper provider (Maestro.Local) requires vcredist (2012) to be installed.

There should be an NSIS macro out there that can do this for us.
