I too am concerned this will make data management hard for people with
lots of data / multiple projects. It might be better to dedicate a
section in serverconfig.ini to define path mappings as follows:<br>
<br>
[Path Mappings]<br>
SomeSdfFiles = <some path><br>
SomeShpFiles = <some other path><br>
BigArseImages = <path to SAN disk><br>
...<br>
<br>
In Studio / Web Studio the user would be presented the list of path
mappings. Once they select a path mapping they can browse all files and
folders below that path.<br>
<br>
My 2 cents...<br>

Earlier references that got me wound up:
"certain directories on the server machine will be specified as unmanaged data directories"
"Certain directories on the server machine will be specified to be unmanaged data directories"
hmm, almost the same :)

Jason, I believe the spec explicitly states that network drives will
be accessible:
"For windows, specified directories can be physical drives or network
paths. For linux, it can be any accessible path."
Cheers

Does this mean that network shares (NFS, SMB, whatever) will not be
supported?
Most of my unmanaged file-based data (orthos) are on a SAN, and
only accessible by UNC or mapped drive/directory.

Subject: [mapguide-dev] Unmanaged Data APIs RFC
I have just posted a draft of the RFC for "Unmanaged Data APIs" in
MGOS to the following location:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/MapGuide_RFC_2_-_Unmanaged_Data_APIs">http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/MapGuide_RFC_2_-_Unmanaged_Data_APIs</a>
Please take a look, and post any feedback to this group.
Thanks,
