[Gvsig_english] SUGGESTED FUNCTIONALITY gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Tables

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Hi,

1. I notice that no where in the GUI does it actually tell you the path 
to listed external tables. The path to external tables should be 
included in the properties section of the project manager, similar to 
how the layer properties box lists the path.
2. When resizing the table window (or any window in gvSIG for that 
matter) the hot spot is only 1-pixel wide. I find that at times I can 
miss this hotspot. If I have a window behind the table then you can 
accidentally trigger an action in this window. This is most obvious in 
attribute tables. It would be desirable to have a larger hotspot in the 
lower window, a bit like the 'three-bar diagonal' symbol used in firefox.
3. It would be desirable to be able to edit an attribute table without 
having to edit the shapefile. Three reasons: one, the entire view is 
disrupted with the appearance of the command window; two, it is 
unnecessary; and three it exposes the 'spatial data' to accidental changes.
