Description

jirikadlec2[CodePlex]
Currently HydroDesktop comes pre-packaged with 'North America' and 'World' sample project. There are more sample projects available online (from the 'myget.org' package website) that can be seen in the menu File -- Open sample projects -- Online tab.

However it is not very easy for a new user to create a new sample project (for example a research area with some data analyses, custom spatial datasets and derived time series data) and upload it to the Internet. the current documentation is on

http://download.codeplex.com/Download?ProjectName=hydrodesktopDownloadId=384665

Suggested feature:
Create a new plugin
This plugin adds a new menu item to the File dropdown : File - Share sample project...

This displays a dialog where user can enter author name, sample project name and sample project description and click OK

When user clicks OK: A .nupkg package file is created from the current project. This package contains all shapefiles, the sqlite database with any time series data, and information about current map symbology and labels. The package is then automatically uploaded
to the myget.org/HydroDesktop page from where it becomes available for download by other users with the 'Open Sample Project' dialog.
