Project: QGIS
Version: 2.14.0
A number of elements have both a Name and a Title. The Name is a text string used for machine-to-machine communication while the Title is for the benefit of humans. For example, a dataset might have the descriptive Title Maximum Atmospheric Temperature and be requested using the abbreviated Name ATMAX.
User can already set title for layers and project. OpenGeospatial Web Services, OWS (WMS, WFS, WCS), name is based on the name used in layer tree. This name is more a label for humans than a name for machine-to-machine communication.
To add the capability to users to define Name as a text string for machine-to-machine communication, this feature adds:
- short name line edits to layers properties
- WMS data dialog to layer tree group (short name, title, abstract)
- short name line edits to project properties
- add a regexp validator "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9._-]*" to short name line edit accessible through a static method
- add a TreeName element in the fullProjectSettings
If a short name has been set for layers, groups and project it is used by QGIS Sever as the layer name.
