The current way allows you to select the action once and just keep clicking without having to reselect it again, using the context menu method however requires me to select the action every time regardless if I don't the other 10 in that session. However like you have seen the context menu can be easier for beginners to grasp because there is only one tool and feedback is instant. One way I thing you could do to handle this is the ability to define actions as standalone action toolbar buttons, so that certain actions appear as their own toolbar button. You would define the actions like normal but there would be the option to say "Make this a button". You could then have a general action button that when used gives you the context menu on click while at the same time having standalone buttons so that you don't have to navigate the context menu if you am doing one action repeatedly. The action buttons would be optional, any actions not marked as a button would just be rolled into the one "hotlink" button. E.g I would have a standalone button for say "Open Photo" but for other less used things I would just leave them in the context menu. > - Adds retrocompatibility for old syntax -1 I think having two ways to define the same kind of thing the former with the lack of expression support would be bad. People will just have to move forward to bring there projects up to the current syntax IMO. > - use the same behaviour as "identify" tool : active layer, first layer > found , all layers. That would be more user friendly I guess. + 1 _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
