@yojiyojiyoji

So you go to Fiji?

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

Thank you so much @yojiyojiyoji

yes - Nate and I will be there to meet with local stakeholders at the beginning of August

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

Should be nice. Tropical island.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

we will discuss with them about the best ways for them to exploit imagery in their GIS workflows

Yeah, although I feel we won’t have much time to tour around

it’s only five days and we already have a packed schedule

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

Thanks. Please let me know once it's done.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

I will - thank you so much for all your work on this

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

I think it is too far from here to go to Fiji.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

I will submit a few more issues on UI stuff

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

Sure.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

any reason not to push this to the main repo?

…or you did already?

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

What?

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

And we should also find out what’s the best way to push to the QGIS exp plugin repo

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

I did not understand what you are saying.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

oh, it looks like you already pushed this code to the main repo, right?

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

Yes.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

cool

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

Let me say one thing.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

then I was saying that we should ask @tassia how to push to the qgis exp plugin repo

so people can update directly from within qgis

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

If you have time, could you try to remove the file $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.qgis.qgis.plist, and recreate the setting file later? This may solve some of the problems, which we had today.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

OK, I will

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

I also need to say one more thing.

I am thinking of staying in Japan, temporarily. It depends on the schedule.

So, if you finalize the work plan, please let me know about it as soon as possible. I would like to think about my plan.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

Sounds good!

Japan is in the same region of the PacDID project

so it may be good to have you there for some time

;)

OK, gotta run

thanks again and have a good weekend!

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

See you. I will let you know if I make some progress.

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

@cgiovando I have implemented multithread reprojection. You can get the code from git repo, or get the updated .zip file from shared folder.
(GUI has not been modified yet.)
Thanks.

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

very cool - thanks @yojiyojiyoji - I’m going to check it out. I’m guessing it’s using gdal_translate? It may be useful to add compression options at runtime (LZW, JPEG, etc) as we will probably want to add that as part of PacDID (to reduce transfer in low bandwidth environments - think Pacific island countries)

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

@cgiovando I have actually been using gdalwarp, but I think we can just replace it with gdal_translation. (I think it’s just a difference of string value for command execution.) Anyway, please just let me finish windows installer first, and then try to use gdal_translation.

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

@cgiovando I have checked gdal_translate, but it seems that it can’t do reprojection. Is this right?
(The reason I ask is that, if this is right, we probably need to refactor or create new classes, to use both gdalwarp and gdal translate.)

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

You are correct @yojiyojiyoji - but actually gdalwarp does support format conversion through the option -of so we should be able to just use that one command and do both reprojection and transformation/compression in one go. What do you think?

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

@cgiovando I think, in the future, we will need to execute more than one commands anyway, so I don’t mind if I do some refactoring and write new classes, but I was actually thinking of releasing Alpha3, finishing some documentations, first of all.
So, if we need format conversion function in Alpha3, I can probably make a combobox for output format selection to add -of option of gdalwarp, but what should I do?

Cristiano Giovando

@cgiovando

We should have both options, but up to you in what version to include it. After next week’s PacDID meeting we should have more information about priority requirements, then we can plan

Thanks for all your work so far @yojiyojiyoji

have a good weekend!

@smit1678

@yojiyojiyoji :wave: ping me when you’re online and can chat for sec

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

@smit1678 Thanks. I saw you are living in Lisbon. So, I will ping you later.
(Probably you can guess this, but my problem is that I can’t find ‘delete’ in OAM Uploader API. So, I don’t know how to delete the uploaded metadata.)
Thanks.

yojiyojiyoji

@yojiyojiyoji

@smit1678 @cgiovando If necessary, I will try to see if I can write the codes for oam-uploader-api. It is developed by node.js with hapi, right?
I think, ideally, it is better to support all crud operation in API.

Nate Smith

@smit1678

@yojiyojiyoji just sent you an email. right, there isn’t a delete method in the API. ideally this is done at the metadata file level and then is updated in the API

but the question is how to manage that editing capability on the json file

this is easier if a user has their own S3 bucket where the metadata is stored, but gets harder on HOT’s S3 bucket
