Loading 10 slices of a WMS by default is overkill #502

Closed ggalibert closed 10 years ago

ggalibert commented 11 years ago

I have just realised that when selecting a layer like any ACORN or CARS, the portal is actually loading 10 slices in the animation.

I think loading 1 slice should be enough, a user wants to look at the most relevant slice according to him. The problem with loading 10 slices is the amount of time the user has to wait which is almost blocking sometimes (bug).

By the way, that slice should be the most recent one available for ACORN.

Cheers

@pblain Pretty easy to fix this. If this is the desired behaviour I can do it.

@ggalibert is mainly concerned about the long loading times of NcWMS layers (x10, because we have 10 layers loading by default).

Given @pblain's comment on #389 this might not be a problem for much longer.

ggalibert commented 11 years ago

I'm not sure, Pete told me that converting the animation into a time line is not a priority on the agenda, nor an easy task to do.

pblain commented 11 years ago

One of the priorities for the next iteration will be to convert the animation feature into a time-slice selector only.

dnahodil commented 11 years ago

Closing as there is a backlog item to change this functionality.

ggalibert commented 11 years ago

Yes, but only for the 123 portal which will be released in December... How about now for the current production portal?

pblain commented 11 years ago

The old portal will probably continue to run for a while - even after 123 is deployed. So I'm re-opening.

danfruehauf commented 11 years ago

I can easily change it to load just 1 slice on layer load. Will that be good enough?

ggalibert commented 11 years ago

Yes, please I'd be happy to test it with this set up.
