Redmine Bug #453 (Resolved): Update itislib functionality to use new informationhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/4532002-04-06T00:19:44ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>calls to the Itis Canada database now have new information in the response (e.g.<br />multiple taxons returned with common name, synonyms, etc. We should enable<br />Morpho to use this additional information (e.g synonyms based on common names)</p> Bug #451 (Resolved): Enable Java Web Start for Morphohttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/4512002-03-29T23:35:13ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>It would be good to be able to start Morpho using Java Web Start<br />(<a class="external" href="http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/">http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/</a>). This would allow us to do<br />automatic upgrades, and might be more convenient for the user.</p>
<p>I have implemented the vast majority of this functionality. It mainly involved<br />creating a jar file for the configuration files (morpho-config.jar) as part of<br />the build process. Although a lot of Morpho works under this new scenario,<br />there are still a few bugs, mostly with the DataPackage wizards. I'll be coming<br />back to finish these things off later.</p>
<p>If you want to try out my incomplete implementation, install Java Web Start and<br />then go to the following URL:</p>

<p>The itislib library no longer successfully returns synonyms from the ITIS*CA web<br />interface. Need to determine what changed and update itislib accordingly.</p> Bug #439 (Resolved): Table Popup menu options should also appear in application menuhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/4392002-03-04T20:01:49ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Popup menu selections that appear with right click should also appear in<br />persistent application menu. This is particularly critical for Mac users who may<br />not be aware of <Ctrl>+click equivalence to right click.</p>
<p>This was requested by REOT group & Mark Schildhauer</p> Bug #438 (Resolved): Intermittent Version Numbering Problemhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/4382002-02-28T19:16:15ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If one creates a datapackage and then repeatedly changes one of the documents in<br />the package (e.g. the eml-access doc; just say it is a new doc without actually<br />changing anything), perhaps 1-2 times out of 10, an error will occur which says<br />"The file you are attempting to updata has been changed by another user ...".<br />Apparently the sequence number has become out of sync. Completely removing local<br />copies and working from Metacat versions does not fix the problem - i.e. not<br />further editing can be done.</p>
<p>The problem is apparently related to the "getMetacatInputStream" method in<br />'ClientFramework' class. This method has makes three attempts to get a network<br />connection due to a problem in the HTTP connection class. This bug apparently<br />occurs when the first embedded 'try' in this method fails. Somehow the version<br />number is getting incremented in Metacat but not in the package!</p>
<p>Apparently, Morpho needs some sort of transaction management in order to recover<br />when part of a datapackage updata works and part does not.</p> Bug #422 (Resolved): fix export functionalityhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/4222002-02-13T21:39:19ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>requested by REOT group</p> Bug #396 (Resolved): login dialog requires tab before text entryhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3962002-01-11T19:43:27ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>The password field of the login dialog should have default focus so the user<br />does not have to hit the tab key to start entering their password.</p> Bug #395 (Resolved): second screen of profile wizard must be clicked onhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3952002-01-11T19:42:11ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>The second screen of the profile wizard does not have a default focus of the<br />cursor, causing the user to have to click on the username box instead of just<br />hitting the tab key. ideally, the username text box should have the default<br />focus so that the user does not have to do anything to start typing there.</p> Bug #391 (Resolved): column definition is not retained through wizard navigationhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3912002-01-11T18:51:51ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If you get to the text import wizard screen where you enter column definition,<br />then enter a definition, then click the 'back' button twice (back to the first<br />screen), then go back to the definition screen, the definition you entered is lost.</p> Bug #358 (Resolved): need visual indicator of login and network statushttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3582001-12-01T00:54:24ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>When morpho has network access to metacat, a user can be logged in or not. If<br />they are logged in, they have the access rights of their user account when<br />accessing metacat. When not logged in, they have "public" rights. Need a<br />visual indicator of the current login status. Also need a visual indicator of<br />the network status (true if can reach metacat, false otherwise).</p> Bug #357 (Resolved): determine if a network connection is availablehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3572001-12-01T00:51:22ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Morpho often hangs if the network is unreachable or if Metacat is unreachable. <br />Need to create a status flag indicating whether of not it is available, and fix<br />errors that occur when network communication fails.</p> Bug #356 (Resolved): resolve icon usability issueshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3562001-12-01T00:49:39ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Current icons in Morpho are not completely telegraphic. Need to resolve<br />usability and understandability of icons with input from various users,<br />including REOT.</p> Bug #342 (Resolved): display metadata file timestampshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3422001-11-30T02:53:18ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Some users requested that the package display show the modification timestamp<br />for packages. Also wanted timestamps for creation and modification to be<br />displayed for each metadata file. I'm not sure there is consensus on this request.</p> Bug #212 (Resolved): jar file handling for data packageshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/2122001-04-09T22:22:42ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Need ability to store data packages as jar files on the local system, and morpho<br />needs to be able to create them and understand their structure. Also, need to<br />be able to send a jar file to metacat, and have it parse it and store the<br />components properly.</p> Bug #211 (Resolved): Data entity editor and displayhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/2112001-04-09T22:16:51ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Need to be able to edit new and existing data entities based on the metadata<br />descriptions found in the eml-entity metadata module. After interviewing the<br />user for the entity, attribute and constraint metadata, should be able to set up<br />a strongly typed table for data entry, and have the ability to output files in<br />the ASCII format indicated by the metadata physical file description.</p>
