Some raster questions...

Hi all,just started using fme to do my raster processing and am thrilled with the quality and speed of the output. That said I can't seem to figure out a couple of things. Perhaps you all might be able to assist.1) When I mosaic images and push into jp2, the empty areas end up black, is there a way to make the empty areas transparent?2) Is there a way to produce prj files for my output images based on the output projection?

Tkinter in the included Python

Does anyone know if Tkinter will be wholly included in the included version of Python for FME? Currently I can import the module, but I get an error saying that TCL might not be installed properly. In the past Tkinter has been excluded from FME's Python, but I think the ability to be able to present a form to the user in the startup script would be useful

Getting a geodb_type of geodb_polygon for point features

This is both a question and an answer, in case it helps anyone else out.If you take point features from an SDE featureclass and put them through the PointOnAreaOverlayer, features coming out of the Point port can have the geodb_type set to geodb_polygon. This is because the original features did not have that attribute, so they inherit the attribute from the area. Then when you write them to a geodatabase, like a personal gdb, they get dropped because they have the wrong type to be written into a point featureclass. You get a "WARN | Came across an invalid polygon with fewer than 3 vertices. Skipping the polygon ...." Confusingly, the number of features that show they are written are the total number, not the actual number, so if you don't examine your output, you may not realize you're losing features.The workaround is to place an AttributeRenamer on the point features with geodb_type set to geodb_pointThis is PR#37731 but I haven't seen anything that

Batch files not completing

I have FME batch files that will run manually, but when started by the Windows scheduler they get hung when attempting to open a geodatabase. I suspect this is a Window scheduler problem, but I will glady accept any suggestions/thoughts. Below is the last couple of lines of the log file. |INFORM|Loaded module 'GEODATABASE_FILE' from file 'C:\\app\\FME\\GEODATABASE9.dll' 0|INFORM|FME API version of module 'GEODATABASE_FILE' matches current internal version (3.7 20111219) |INFORM|Opening the Geodatabase reader Have any of you out there in FME Land experienced a similar problem?

How to obtain attribute names

I have a bunch of TAB-files and I want to document for each file which attributes that are present. I'm not interested in the values of the attributes or the geometry. Just the name of the attributes. How can I in a generic way document the attribute names my TAB-files have?

AttributeFileWriter + newline

Trying to use an AttributeFileWriter and insert a newline within my concatenaed string. So I want the following attributemyAttrib= 'Firsttext \\n Lasttext'to be written to a file like this:FirsttextLasttextI see there is an Append-mode in FME 2013 - but I assume it should be possible to add linebreaks also to the FME2012? All help appreciated

Compare zoning of parcels in two Oracle databases

I have an Oracle database with a parcels layer and a zoning layer. I also have another Oracle database with parcels table and an "attributes" table containing which zone applies to which parcel.I want to use the relationship between the two layers to compare with the "attributes" table and produce a list of records to correct, based on the assumption that the map layers are correct.I've tried the AreaOnAreaOverlayer and the Clipper transformer without success.What method would you recommend to efficiently achieve the correct result?

Smart Delete without the Delete?

With the new Smart Delete functionality, will it be possible to right-click on a transformer and select "Disconnect" or "Remove from Workflow" or something without deleting it?I often find myself re-ordering transformers, and without this would still have to manually delete/redraw the connections before re-inserting the transformer earlier / later in the workflow.And yes, I know, "go download the beta and try for yourself!" (sorry)

Remove fme format attributes from Generic Reader

Generic Reader is outputting extra fme format attributes. Eg:mapinfo_symbol_colordb_typejpeg_typecsv_number_of_fields I want to drop all these attributes leaving only the 'native' attributes but it is hard to do this with a text filter since the pattern varies depending on the input format. Any ideas? Unfortunately I can't just ignore them in the writer because I amwritingthe list of attributes to a string.
