Indeed, there is at the moment, no way to edit the parameters you mentioned.

It will be a bit "difficult" to add absolutely everything in the user interface so I focus on the "main" parameters. What would you consider as "main" parameters ?

Hi

Yes understood. To actually get a map file to load, as opposed to getting a blank map :), then your are about 95% there.

The ones I highlighted in the issue are required, after that then its really not too much of an issue to use an ordinary editor.

Will you be providing a export/write the map to a file?, at the moment I am cut and pasting the map from the mapfile window into an editor then saving.

Thanks

Hi Produced a map file, which initially would not load, blank map. Support for SHAPEPATH is required, when I hand edited the map file it loaded ok.

Excellent idea !

SHAPEPATH is only required if you don't use the full path in LAYER : DATA. But I can add a SHAPEPATH field in the user interface.

Hi

Yes its better for the shape file directory to be defined in one place. My mapfile is a combination of shapefiles and postgresql queries.
