- modify position attribute in XML layer - press reload document on the XML Layer Node - reordering of nodes in view <this layer in context> is not showing - have to close module project and reopen to have xml layer reparsed and ordering showing correctly
I have no idea what "Reload Document" does, but it's not added by the module development support and it certainly doesn't do anything related to the structure view of layers.
Hi Maybe I was not clear about the issue (which is not a big one anyway). The 2 'magic' nodes under the XML Layer, which are labelled <this layer> and <this layer in context> have the good property of displaying for instance the menu items in the order specified by the ordering attributes in the XML layer. Reordering menu items by drag and drop of nodes will impact the XML laer file to reflect the new relative orderings. However, when you touch the XML file directly by hand, there does not seem to be a way of this being reflected in the nodes other than by closing and reopening the module project. i.e. the nodes are not listening for the layer file writes. One could think that the XML node contextual menu item "Reload Document" would trigger a redisplay of the 2 'magic' nodes content... Thks
It is supposed to refresh the display automatically upon saving the XML file, but apparently that is not working for this case.
Reproducible. Other changes (e.g. changes in filename) are reflected automatically upon save. Seems that something is not correctly listening to, or refiring, file attribute changes.
<This layer in context> will get changed as result of issue #150804.
