[GeoNetwork-devel] Admin Settings: Why "The field 'maximum selected records' must be >= 1000"?

Hi,

I'm developing a WIS service based on geonetwork2.6.4 and I wonder why the
value for "maximum selected records" must be greater than 1000. Is there any
reason for this limit? In admin settings, there is well a value to enter for
"Metadata Search Results" / "Maximum Selected Records", but the value is
checked to be greater than 1000...

I would like to be able to set a lower limit in some particular situations.
For example, when "Search data" displays thousands of results on hundreds of
pages, the button "Select / All" would select ALL these metadata. As there
is a "Subscriptions" service, the user may use the "Actions on Selection"
menu in order to make subscriptions to ALL the results, which is not such a
good idea. This is the reason I would like to limit the max number of the
selected results to, let's say, 5, or 10, or 25...

By the way, where can I find the limit value 1000 in the source code and/or
in the settings of geonetwork?

Many thanks,
Victor

Have a look to scripts/config/view.js
    { id:'selection.maxrecords', type:'integer', minValue:1000,
maxValue:100000, empty:false },

HTH.

Oufff, I've searched for hours the value...:))

So I have just to change it...

By the way, is there a reason to "hardcode" such a limit, which depends
rather on the real world different situations? Wouldn't it be better to put
it somewhere in the config files?

Thanks again,
Victor
