Redmine Bug #5242 (New): Spatial search uses 'pathquery' not 'spatial_query' actionhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/52422010-11-16T21:03:04Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>When constructing a spatial search in the Morpho search dialog, the resulting query is a pathquery with intersections of less-than and greater-than terms on the bounding coordinates. While this may work for data packages with a single geographic coverage element, it can become confusing or inaccurate when multiple sites are included, especially if they are distant from one another.<br />The pathquery is used so that spatial criteria can be combined with keyword, title, temporal, etc, criteria, but it should probably be performed separately and those results merged with results from a separate pathquery that is used for the other more basic types of fields.</p> Bug #5103 (New): Wizard screen to edit data entity namehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/51032010-07-27T21:50:44Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>The only way to rename a data entity is to use the tree editor.</p>
<p>Request from L. Wolkovich:<br />"Can one edit the name of a data table once you have gone through and set it up? If not, I wish I could."</p> Bug #5063 (New): Morpho Data Package Editor degrades when Editing Data Table Accesshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/50632010-06-29T20:52:03ZRick Reevesreeves@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>(Ben L. was an eyewitness to this - 6.29.2010)<br />Running Windows 7 Enterprise.<br />I have added six data objects/tables to an existing Morpho Data Package (knb.245.x) and am adding access permissions to each table using the <br />Data/Edit Data Table Access wizard. I add custom access permissions<br />for two individuals on the first three tables, clicking the OK button<br />at the bottom of each dialog but NOT saving the package between data<br />tables.</p>
<p>Problem: As I click through the Data Package Editor tabs corresponding <br />to each data table, Morpho performance slows dramatically, until, after<br />the third tab/table, Morpho has ground to a halt and I have to wait 5-10<br />minutes for the menu bar items to change from grey to black.</p>
<p>After one of these long waits, when I save the package (local), the save<br />takes about three minutes.</p>
<p>This makes it very difficult to move forward in a Data Package editing session.</p>
<p>Last week when a similar thing happened, the Metacat had crashed and <br />Morpho had locked up. But that did not happen in this case. Performance <br />is just incredibly slow.</p>
<p>RR</p> Bug #4733 (New): Checking the permission of the user before he/she saves a data package to metacathttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/47332010-02-04T18:21:56ZJing Taotao@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Currently morpho uploads data files first, then the eml document.</p>
<p>On moropho, a user adds a data file to an eml document on which he doesn't have WRITE permission. Then the user tries to save the new data package into a metacat. The data file will be upload successfully since it was inserting. But the eml updating will fail. In this case, the data file object only can be accessible by the user himself. The data file was stranded.</p>
<p>We can added a checking permission before user saving the data package. I talked with Mike and he told me that metacat 1.9.2 has new an API named isAuthorized. It takes three parameters: permission, resourceId and sessionid. It will check if the sessionid has the permission on the resourceID. Sounds like morpho can call this method before saving to metacat.</p> Bug #4703 (New): Give user some notification when morpho finds nothing about thesaurus look uphttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/47032010-01-28T01:45:09ZJing Taotao@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Here is a segment from a Gail Steinhart'email:</p>
<p>Nice thesaurus look up feature - but some more noticeable user feedback when there are zero search results would be good (right now nothing happens).</p> Bug #4621 (New): Allow sets of codes/definitions to be reused across data packageshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46212009-12-10T23:21:24ZJim Regetzregetz@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Morpho allows enumerated value codes/definitions to be "imported from another table", although "imported" is somewhat of a misnomer because they are simply documented by reference (i.e., via entityCodeList in EML), and this only works within a single DP. This feature does <strong>not</strong> directly address the common use case of wanting to reuse identical (or similar) enumerated domains for different attributes, especially across DPs.</p>
<p>One approach might be to allow code/definition sets to be imported (copied) from <strong>any</strong> documented enumeratedDomain field that contains codeDefinitions, in any locally saved DP. This would require a GUI element to allow the user to select the desired DP, data table, and attribute to import from.</p>
<p>A second approach might be to provide a mechanism for users to save any existing code/definition sets to a local "registry" (in their morpho cache), and then import only from that code/definition registry. This would require a GUI element for saving (and probably naming) the codes/definitions from within the column documentation editor for enumerated domain attributes, and some modification of what the existing import button does.</p>
<p>After import, the codes/definitions should be editable for tweaking.</p>
<p>The general motivations for this bug are similar to those expressed for other forms of templating, namely in bug 1532 (for data packages) and bug 2851 (for attributes).</p> Bug #4416 (New): 1.7.0 - Geographic Coverage Sites List Should Record Tool Typehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/44162009-09-25T18:35:40ZWill Tyburczywilltyb@uchicago.edu
<p>When you select an item the shortcut list of sites in the geographic coverage window, it does not remember what tool type you used to create the item. Thus, if an item was created using the point tool but you select it while the currently selected tool is the box tool, it doesn't properly load the coordinates of the item.</p> Bug #4098 (New): Cancelling map viewer should reset zoomhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/40982009-05-21T17:03:44ZJim Regetzregetz@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>This applies to the map viewer that appears both for Spatial Search and for editing Geographic Coverage metadata. If you change spatial zoom, then cancel the dialog, IMHO the zoom should be reset to global the next time you open it. Currently this doesn't happen. Note if you change any of the coordinates, they <strong>are</strong> reset after you cancel the dialog, and this seems like the correct behavior to me.</p> Bug #4096 (New): Must click tab twice to display metadata for table without read accesshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/40962009-05-21T01:44:09ZJim Regetzregetz@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>This happens for me with a data package that has several publicly readable data tables, plus an additional table for which I don't have read access. When I click on the tab of the private table, Morpho gives two warning windows. After dismissing these, the table documentation shows the metadata for the first table in the DP, <strong>not</strong> the table I clicked on. After dismissing the warnings, I have to click the tab a second time to make the correct documentation for this table appear.</p>
<p>I see this with Morpho 1.7.0-RC3 on both Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP. However, on Mac OS X, the correct table documentation appears after the first click.</p> Bug #3979 (New): File-> save has no response when a user tries to save an invalid dochttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/39792009-04-13T19:54:55ZMargaret O'Brienmob@msi.ucsb.edu
<p>a user (inadvertently) created a document which had duplicate IDs (see bug <a class="issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-2 priority-default closed" title="Bug: when adding people from another dataset, check to see that ids are unique (Resolved)" href="https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3978">#3978</a>). When she tried to save it to the network, Morpho did nothing - and displayed no error message. Morpho saved the package locally. Then Morpho displayed an earlier revision of the data package, which confused the user.</p> Bug #3897 (New): Controlled vocabulary for Taxonomic Coveragehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/38972009-03-17T16:41:04Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>The pluggable controlled vocabulary UI is useful for keywordSets, but also the same widget could be used for picking coverage values for taxonomic coverage from the taxonomic hierarchy. (see old bug 345)</p>
<p>Taxonomic Coverage:<br />I'm assuming you would first select a "Classification System" (constrained<br />vocabulary) and then based on that selection you would be able to select<br />value[s] from the list that were present in your dataset.<br />Perhaps the lookup will go beyond a static XML list and can use webservices<br />much like the NBII lookup used in the FIRST project.</p> Bug #3872 (New): opening a "previous version" and resaving locally wrote over the last most recen...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/38722009-03-09T21:03:56ZMargaret O'Brienmob@msi.ucsb.edu
<p>package obrien.1 has 3 revisions (1,2,3 all locally saved). I opened rev 3, and then chose "open previous version", picked obrien.1.2, and made some changes and saved the package. I expected it to be saved as "obrien.1.4" (the next unused revision #), but instead Morpho wrote over the existing obrien.1.3 (ie, open_package_rev + 1). So I can no longer revert to obrien.1.3.</p> Bug #3458 (New): Morpho will take long time to startup if the metacat host server is downhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/34582008-07-24T22:40:46ZJing Taotao@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If morpho is pointing to a host which is down (not only tomcat was shut down, but also the machine was shut down), it will take about 2 minutes to startup. I found this bug first in cvs head. Then I double checked the 1.6.1 release and it has same behavior.</p> Bug #3323 (New): Morpho has problem to handle special characters.https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/33232008-05-27T18:16:42ZJing Taotao@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Generally this is working much better. However, today I tried pasting special<br />characters and quotes using from Word and I had some strange things happen when<br />opening and saving. First I filled out the form and cut and pasted special<br />characters in the the Sampling Description section of <br /><a class="external" href="http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=nceas&docid=nrs.853.1">http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=nceas&docid=nrs.853.1</a></p>
<p>When I opened it in Morpho The special symbols and the quotes did not display<br />correctly in Morpho. Then I added some special characters and quotes using<br />Morpho (cut and pasted form Word) in the Abstract section.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=nceas&docid=nrs.853.2">http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=nceas&docid=nrs.853.2</a></p>
<p>Online the Abstract section looked good but online the Sampling Description no<br />longer displayed correctly.</p>
<p>I again opened the data package from the network on Morpho and the Abstract<br />section no longer displayed correctly. I didn't try saving it to the network<br />afterwards.</p>

<p>Callie. Yeah, it is known that the morpho has problem to handle special<br />character. This is not metacat bug. It is morpho one. I will close the bug and<br />open one in morpho.</p> Bug #3171 (New): Morpho install in Vista does not create a viewable sterr.log filehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/31712008-03-07T23:47:14ZCallie Bowdishbowdish@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I installed morpho-1.6.1-jre on Windows Vista. This requires changing the properties with Compatibility mode set to Windows XP (Service Pack 2). I was unable to find the stderr.log file. Another user was also unable to see the stderr.log (on Windows Vista) which had been requested to determine why Morpho had "frozen" on him.</p>
<p>I checked all of the file view settings.</p>
