[Geomoose-users] Layer functions

[Brent Fraser]

I've been thinking about the Catalog tab, the list of layers, and layer functions.

Some layer functions I'd like to see:
    (From Quantum GIS:)
- Zoom to Layer Extent
- Zoom to best scale (for raster)
- Open Attribute Table
- Save as Shapefile (and other formats?)
- Properties: metadata, symbology, attributes


So some questions:
- should we consider adding more icons to the layer entries to do more things?
- should these icons be configurable (is that the intent of <layer-controls>?)
- should we move (at least some of) the icons to a right-click menu?

- should we adopt GeoExt to supply the Catalog container/functions?

Thanks!
