Export library

[kocio-pl]

I make a lot of exports and it would be nice to have kind of named bookmarks library to easily reproduce it when the style code is changed.

Not exactly sure about your need and your workflow, but I'm using this kind of localconfig.js file that may answer:

exports.LocalConfig = function (localizer, project) {
    var map_id = 'greece',
        centers = {
            hispaniola: [-71.7325, 19.1075, 9],
            burundi: [29.9377, -3.4216, 9],

            philippines: [122.190, 11.824, 9],
            jordan: [35.92350, 31.95157, 9],
            ethiopia: [38.7600, 9.0000, 12],
            idf: [2.373, 48.847, 12],

            lesvos: [26.3658, 39.1790, 10],
            athens: [23.7572, 37.9759, 11],
            guinea: [-11.426, 10.045, 8],
            senegal: [-14.711, 14.504, 8],
            iraq: [44.956, 33.317, 7],
            lebanon: [44.956, 33.317, 7],
            greece: [23.7572, 37.9759, 11],
        },
        dbname = {
            'lesvos': 'greece',
            'athens': 'greece',
        },
        bounds = {
            burundi: [28.9874267578125, -4.4833328616955255, 30.871582031249996, -2.284550660236957],
            lesvos: [25.776672363281254, 38.885688179036116, 26.890411376953125, 39.49132430037711],
            athens: [23.57872009277344, 37.90953361677018, 23.88427734375, 38.09836159280601],
            guinea: [-15.260009765625002, 7.1663003819031825, -7.547607421875001, 12.693932935851421],
            senegal: [-17.64, 12.25, -11.23, 16.74],
            iraq: [38.784, 29.05167, 48.90161, 37.39063],
            lebanon: [35.0415, 33.0236, 36.6614, 34.7506],
            greece: [20.083,36.058,26.8176,41.7693],
        };
    project.mml.compareUrl = 'http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.png';
    localizer.where('center').then(centers[map_id]);
    if (bounds[map_id]) localizer.where('bounds').then(bounds[map_id]);

    …
};

Then I just change the map_id value when I want to regenerate a map.

I wanted to store export boxes I make by hand through the UI.

[kocio-pl]

Is it possible to export some area directly from CLI, just passing the bbox coordinates?

[kocio-pl]

Are bounds used for defining export area bbox? It seems to me that they are not working then (even with your example), and it would be useful for me. Currently the export area is just a visible rectangle - without control buttons - and with some small margins added around.

@yohanboniface Could you paste more of your localconfig.js file? The excerpt above lacks the line(s) about using database source and I'd like to use more than one database with Kosmtik.

Thanks for the example!

I wanted to ask also how to enable Compare plugin window by default?

You mean to be open when running Kosmtik? If yes, this is not possible atm. But that's certainly just a matter of adding a setting.
Also remember you have a shortcut for that: Ctrl-Alt-C.

Yes, that would be handy.
