Updated Data Rename Tool

The updated Data Rename Tool (v1.2) is bundled with this release. Changes to the Data Rename Tool include:

• deals with csv files as produced directly from v5 of the DNC spreadsheet dated 4 Oct 2016
  • expects non blank header row
  • makes use of info in 3rd column for geoextent, theme and scale
  • accented characters now displayed correctly in drop downs on form (no need to avoid in DNC)
• restricts choice of theme to be consistent with selected category
• fields widened to accommodate longest descriptions in DNC (eg source ASTER) - consistent with use of Consolas font at 8.25
• now caters for long descriptions that contain commas (instead of truncating at the first comma)
• automatically recognises geometry type of shapefile
• mono-width font used for dropdowns (Consolas - hope it's generally available!) - makes for neater line up of 3rd column
• version of tool now in form title
• version of DNC used to generate clause values and descriptions now at bottom of form

Full documentation is available here.
