I can not order layers in sidebar. I think that natural order is create’s date/time but if the name were used to ordering layers I could create my proper rule.
I suggest new atributes like kind (Index TGI, Index Vari, Index Custom), Zonation, Orthomosaic, date/time, group/region (created by user - because in a large areas I think is important we can break in smaller areas to divide based on stage of plant development).
Thank you
Thank you very much for your feedback, we understand that the current layer order is not very practical and we will make some improvements in our next releases. Let’s see what other people think about your category options.
Best,
I would also like to be able to rearrange layers and display hierarchical structures such as folders.
This may not be necessary if you are only doing spot observations, but it is very difficult to see when making regular observations in the same field.
Three years and two independent request threads. Is this simple GUI adjustment even on the roadmap ?
Hi peter,
it might seem simple from the outside but on the other side it looks completly different.
Its like changing pipeping in an existing building. That said, its on the roadmap but part of a much bigger overhaul which will also take a long time.
I am going to vote for this feature too, even if you could make a more minor improvement today that does not require a major overhaul to the whole application that would help a great deal as a user. I understand that it is difficult but looking at the timeline it has been a few years and it is reasonable for paying customers to wonder when this seemingly simple feature will come to market.
Problem I am trying to solve - I am taking field views of the same field multiple times per year and at times I take a smaller set of it rather than the whole field so that I can capture a subset. Ideally if the interface would allow me to sort by date or by name then I can adopt naming conventions that allow me to keep the subsets together in a group so that I can keep things in order. In other cases I have done the work to annotate a major version that is going to a customer but don’t annotate minor versions because I was just checking something in between.
Certainly longer term it would be nice if the layers would take on a more object like interface where each record is an object with properties that can be edited and managed, those are sortable, can be tagged, exported as individual layers, imported as individual layers etc. But I think that is perhaps a big project and I would gladly take a simpler short term solution.
Appreciate you Julius and other team members. I use PIX4D fields a lot and value the product!
Hi Jake!
In the next release of the software, we will introduce something that will already improve this big time. You will not be able to manually order the layers yet, but we will have parent-child relationships. If you, for example, process a dataset, everything you derive from that will be grouped under this layer. I use already a beta version of this for a few weeks myself, and it is honestly much better.
When is this release scheduled for? that would be HUGE for our operation
We hope this month!
