> First question: I have created a bunch of product types with attributes for
> each different class of product that I need to show. Each product type has a
> different set of attributes. Now I want to create products of those types
> that I just defined to populate my catalog but when I go to do that using
> catalog/control/EditProduct on that form I see a dropdown menu for Product
> Type and yet I don't find the types that I created. Is this the expected
> behavior? All the product types from the seed data are there but how do I
> get the ones that I created to show? Is this another step?
>
> Another question: when creating attributes are they all created as a string
> data type? Is there a way to specify the data type of the attribute being
> created? Is the solution for this a separate table for the product type? My
> products are digital files of satellite images which all have start and stop
> times and geographical coordinates associated with them and if I represent
> them as the correct data type then I will be able to write useful automation
> scripts to do time and geography based operations particular to my data such
> as:
>
> 1) how long is the data of a product in seconds from start to stop
> 2) use length of data in product to calculate bytes to estimate delivery
> time by ftp
> 3) which product occurs first in time
> 4) difference in time between stop of one product and start of another
> 5) does one product overlap another in time
> 6) how far away is one scene center from another
