Tools | Points to Grid with Import Points sticks on Step 2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was trying to run a Tools | Points to Grid on a bee dataset but note that you 
cannot get passed Step 2 "Select species".

If you select "Import points" on step 2, the points are imported and a layer 
created but the prompt stays on step 2 with 'Next' button grey.

In theory, a pre-imported point list should also be provided as an option on 
step 2 (in the same way as a predefined area is).

The attached image shows 3 attempts to use the imported points.

Also noted that the same issue applies to

Tools | Scatterplot
Tools | Scatterplot list
Tools | Prediction
Tools | GDM

I also wondered why, after file name request and import, we have a new prompt 
called

"Restrict mapped species to an area" with the usual area options. This strikes 
me as unnecessary as the area has already been defined in step 1.

The imported point are mapped BTW, but you remain stuck on Step 2.

Hi Lee,

I get past step 2 in scatter plot and points to grid.  I get a "Unknown error" 
on step 3 when I attempt to generate the points to grid (I will look at fixing 
this one). Another thing that I have noticed is that every time you press the 
"OK" button the points get loaded as a new layer. So I ended up with multiple 
layers. 

I don't quite understand what the issue is that you would like fixed.

Thanks.

Natasha

I don't think that Points to Grid actually supports the concept of a imported 
points. It calls an alalspatial service that relies on looking up values in the 
supplied service (either the biocache or sandbox). 

I am inclined to remove the "Import points" options from the Points to Grid 
dialog.

I'll check with Adam asap but I think you are right as I remember limitations 
on some tools when using the current point import. Certainly need to remove 
option for now as it is obviously busted, but I'm very keen to see Sandbox 
integration asap (#64) as I alone have two projects that require use of 
imported points and Points to grid (one is the bee data that Linda was working 
on for a blog).

This has been fixed by removing the unsupported "Import points" in the Points 
to Grid.

Hi Lee has this one been fixed? Can I close the issue?
