"DOC=YES" on local data source save

[TJS]

Hi,

1) Can the line prefix info be carried along with one does a local file save?
Data_explorer/layer_controls/File/Save/Save_as_local_data...

2) BTW, If one brought down the GOES as a RAW, than the area can be displayed in mcidas-x, but not if the data was of type TEMP.

3) Any way to add some AUDIT trail info to the saved AREA? This way folks get the scan line times, etc. Another option would be to add something to the MEMO field.

4) The good news is that the image off the server and via a saved mcv seems to be the same!

5) Finally, when the data is saved, a dialogue box pops up (saving data), and then goes away, but is there a way for it to say around and state: File(s) saved.

See below for details.

At present the "comment cards" and "line prefix" information are stripped off the data as it is being decoded by the basic class (called "AreaFile") that represents the AREA file data in McV. It will take development time to modify the AreaFile class to keep track of both of these items. Prior to this development, though, we need to meet with the requester(s) to ascertain what they want to be able to do (other doing an "image copy" process).

Tom,

One thing I have always used the DOC=YES keyword for is to get the time the line was scanned. It is very important to know this at times. I realize that there is nothing like the "ANGLES" program in McIDAS-V at this time, and I hope that it will come in the future, but I believe the the line prefix is needed for this as well. I have already needed the ANGLES function, I have used it on a regular basis in the past. It is a really good way to find out where there may be sun glint in an image when you are analyzing it in a program.
