Hi,
For me, keeping the layer visilibity was the main reason we wanted the
feature back then. We did not want a real freeze, which means we wanted
the behavior that changes to geometry and symbology would be reflected
in the map layouts.
I can see that for other purposes you would want a complete freeze - but
in that case wouldn't it be more useful to just export the map to a file
and add it to the layout?
In any way, the current behavior of the layer lock should be kept I
think. If other types of freezing are introduced they shouldn't
overwrite the current behavior, but add a new type of freezing/locking
in parallel.
Just my opinion.
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Paolo
This option keeps the visibility (on/off) of the maplayers. Main use case is to
have an overview map where not all layers are visible.
As the composer uses the central QgsMapLayerRegistry, it is not easily
possible to have a totally different set of layers as in the main canvas.

Hi all.
I do not understand well how this option (in the Map composer) works: in my
interpretation, it should freeze the map as it is, so one could meke
whatever change to the canvas, and add a totally different map view. In
reality, is seems that the option only prevents a layer from disappearing
when removed or hidden in the canvas; colours and symbols are updated.
I think the behaviour I described first would be more useful. Am I wrong?
Am I missing something?
All the best.
