 - Comments from the original bugreport:

 I keep running into problems because column names have changed since I
 created layers so the mappings are broken, data sources have moved, etc,
 etc.  It would be great if you could build a validator that checked to
 make sure that all references to other resources, columns, etc, were
 valid.

 -

 Yes. That would be a good feature.
 It would make sense to run it before saving a resource, to alert the user
 of any
 mistakes.

 It would be a small addition to make it run on a folder or the entire
 repository.

 -

 I know there are quite a few users out there who have run into trouble
 because of
 bad references or invalid attribute mappings that would love to see this.
