***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: HTMLReportGenerator / HTMLLayouter - Ability to specify padding (e.g. Google Map) When a Map (Google) is selected in HTMLReportGenerator, it is created with the padding set to 10px on all sides. It would be great if I could set padding-left, padding-right, etc! I find that because the map stretches all the way across the page it is difficult to "comfortably" scroll down – especially when there are multiple maps. *Note: The padding in the <div> tags doesn't appear to be inserted until features are collated with the HTMLLayouter. If anyone is interested, I just used a StringReplacer to workaround this for now.
show captured groups in regular expression editor. Possibly in the results
Network cost calculator - set max distance. Add parameter. Currently using PgRouting via SQLExecutor, FeatureReader + FeatureWriter to/from PostGIS
Instead of finding neighbors set a radial distance from the feature, find neighbors that only fall in a particular linear direction or azimuth. It would be nice to have limited or unlimited distance and neighbors, and even nicer to have a lateral tolerance for how close to the line a prospective neighbor might be.
A complete clone of the StaticMapFetcher in the Transformer Hub, but instead of using Google Maps it should use OSM. Google's base mapping is very restricted in how it can be reused so the OSM background mapping is a better option if the transformer is ever used to create exports (PNG/JPG/etc).
Add support for Open Air / SUA format / TND
'fme' module should be importable outside of FME context. Such as PyCharm
Create a GQueryExploder
It would be very handy to be able to set a zoom level for the map options that support it in HTMLReportGenerator (e.g. Google). Right now I have a workspace that creates points all over the world, and the default zoom level effectively duplicates the map when I am using a different subset of the same data points to make multiple maps.
Support IBM Cloud Storage in a similar way to S3
It would be nice if the FeatureHolder would have a parameter works like "Group By" or "Connection Break Attributes" in the LineBuilder.If there were the parameter, could be applied to this case effectively.How to filter a csv file based on the last row in FME
Being able to read Tables From Web Pages (with a URL) and convert them in any other tabular formats.
It would be nice to have a transformer where you could query a REST service (both Feature Service and Map Service) and have all of the fields be autoparsed out as attributes.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Preselect Columns to Display in Data Inspector via Attribute Selection Dialog in Inspector Transformer When non-geometric features have many attributes, viewing them in Data Inspector is inconvenient if I'm only interested in seeing a small subset of the attributes. Every time I use the Inspector transformer I must reselect the columns to display using the 'Table View Schema' dialog. To improve this, I propose an attribute selection dialog be added to the Inspector transformer that can optionally be used to preselect the columns to display in Data Inspector.

Related to this questionWhen you've set up an AttributeRemover and the schema of the input data changes so that one or more of the attributes you're trying to remove is no longer there it does show this as an error (red) in the parameters, but the cog wheel icon doesn't change.The workspace itself runs fine (which makes sense: the AttributeRemover is trying to remove an attribute that doesn't exist, easy job!)I'd like to suggest that in this case the cog wheel icon changes to yellow to indicate you may want to check that out.
Hello FME Community:When I create a new 'Author' role level user and grant it ability to access the Schedules page, the user is actually able to see the schedules created by all other users including Admin, from repositories that it should not have access to. When I click into one such scheduled task, some fields will be blank (due to no access), and the scheduled task details look 'incomplete'. It appears to be able to click on "Ok" and I'm not sure if that means it'll try to save the Schedule.I think it'd make more sense if a non-Admin user does not see schedules that it does not own, or at least have the ability to differentiate them and definitely not have the ability to click into them by accident. Or, if this is something that can be resolved by better configuration of the roles, please advise. I have been unable to find this in the Security tab.Thanks!Ray
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Configure a set running job expiry time for each workspace (vs. each run/scheduled job) Related to the FME Server 2017 "running job expiry time" (tm_ttc) parameter that cancels a job if it runs beyond a specified length of time:https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/18984/configure-time-limits-for-a-job-and-alertcancel-if.html-------I'd like a time limit per workspace.
Add the option to open a recent "Custom Transformer" from the File menu:I can open recent workspaces and templates but not custom transformers.Please add "Open Recent Custom Transformer" to the "File" menu.
I'm missing a Zoom-to-feature-Function in Data Inspector:in the tableviewat the Feature information
I work with input in files that are not always aligned & would like a way to process multiple files that require DIFFERENT offsets (or warps). My concept is to use a joiner type setup where the filename is matched to the join file & if found processed. The join file would have either 3 or 5 columns: filename, offset_x, offset_y or filename, source_x, source_y, target_x, target_y. Output ports would be "changed" & "unchanged". the output could then either be reprojected or warped as needed using existing transformers
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Connector properties Listed as Private Parameters so they can be referenced in Workspace It would be useful to have FME web or database connections parameters available as private parameters to the workspace similar to how FME Server properties are available. Use case is that when we are running in a DevOps environment where we try to automate promotion of work from DEV to TEST to PROD, we need to repoint web api calls to the instance URL described in the connection (HTTPCaller). In the case of Salesforce, base url for sandbox is test.salesforce.com while production is login.salesforce.com. Similarly for Maximo, AMANDA, Cityworks, SAP, and others.
From FME 2017 there's a neat error trap that means you don't trip over the 'rejected features' issue when writing to the Shape format quite so much. If you add a CSV reader and a Shape Writer to the canvas, the semantic capability of FME kicks in and drops a GeometryFilter on the canvas to route the null geometry records straight to a FeatureType with the shape_null geometry setting. You also get a FeatureType for points. Since the first thing you often do in this scenario is make points this means that you don't end up with lots of points being sent to a Feature Type with the wrong geometry type set. BUT, whilst this is 99% better than previously, the Null port of the GeometryFilter is auto connected to a FeatureType that gets named ' CSV_geom'. This confused a number of training delegates recently who argued that this should be called 'CSV_null' instead.A very small change needed really.
I'd like if FME would check that the output files can be wrote to before it starts, this way it won't do all the heavy lifting and bomb out because I was silly and left the excel sheet open.
Hi. I am trying out FME and noticed the ".bil" format for ITT ENVI .hdr RAW raster is not compatible for IFSAR DEM BIL raster file format. Would like to know how many IFSAR users out there affected by this to warrant Safe consider including this support. Thanks
