[maplab-users] how to stop maplab querying raster layers

Joanne,

Ordinarily, LAYERS that contain no TEMPLATE keyword will not be 
queried. You may need to edit the mapfile in a text editor to remove 
these because mapedit may still retain them even if they are empty in 
the LAYER form. Note that CLASSes within LAYERS may also have a 
TEMPLATE which would make the entire layer subject to queries.

Also, while gmapfactory will respect the TEMPLATE settings, the preview 
inside mapedit may not (i.e. it might add the TEMPLATE setting to all 
layers in the loaded mapfile to allow queries in the preview).

including all of the rasters. If I have all of the rasters on, this 
process takes so long that my php session actually times out! I don't 
think I have a global template set anywhere in my map file, just in the 
two vector layers, so why is maplab trying to query every layer and how 
can I stop it?
