Issues using KML files

Hi @mygrove,

Thanks for reaching out! ??

When you add a KML how do you select the marker type used?

This should use the default (i.e. first listed) Marker Type in Settings. You can drag to reorder them as you like.

The tip in the settings against the marker label suggests it can be hidden in the settings Settings – Map – Misc – Type Labels but there is nothing in the settings at this point?

Good catch! This refers to a Setting that was removed, I will be sure to correct this in the next release. Just FYI type labels (and just about anything) can still be hidden with some simple CSS. This was an intentional decision to help reduce Setting bloat.

When you have points added via a KML how can you select some or all to delete them? Or do you have to do this individually?

Individually I’m afraid (be sure to turn off delete confirmations!). Bulk Overlay selection is definitely on my list though!

Is there a data table somewhere?

Could you expand on what you mean by this?

Cheers,

Joe

Thanks.

I was thinking it would be useful if all the ‘objects’ that have been added to a map could be presented in an editable table, rather than having to click on each object and edit in the map display.

|Object ID|Type (marker/line etc. ref only)|marker type|colour|Text|x coord|y coord|Map ID (ref only)|

Could you give a hint of the simple CSS to hide the Type Label.

Thanks.

Yes I agree – that’s a very powerful idea. I will think on that for future releases ??

This will hide the Tooltip Type labels:

.waymark-type-label {
  display: none !important;
}

Reviews greatly appreciated!
