Exporting list of data layers
JamesRutter
Global Mapper UserTrusted User
We're moving data around on some of our network shares and I need an easy way to find out what data some Global Mapper users project workspaces are pointing to.
Is there a method whereby I can export a list of network paths / filenames for data that's loaded into a GM workspace?
Many thanks.

Hi, an expert may be along with a more elegant answer shortly, but a quick and dirty answer is to open the GMW file in a text editor. GMW's are text format, easily readable. The filepaths/names of linked data will be readily apparent. Of course, so will a lot of other stuff (e.g. coordinates defining shapes within the GMW file), so this doesn't precisely focus you on the answer you want, but the data is there.Also, don't alter/save the GMW file whilst poking around inside, let GM do that!

@BillB OK I will give that a go. Many thanks.

Hello,
The COPY_LAYER_FILES scripting function seems to do this for me:
COPY_LAYER_FILES FILENAME="*" TARGET_DIR="your folder"
(It didn't split out a GM map catalog into individual files)
Hope it works,
Mark
