Hi, I have a couple of questions around the new "Tileserver" layer support in QGIS desktop to be released with 2.18. I think the main commit is https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/f5b657db19eda7e72e6ed34eb7fe333c156acad0 - right?
First, let me thank you a lot for this - Martin and Lutra Consulting for developing/sponsoring it! ----------------- However, I wonder if the usability of the newly added tilserver is already good enough? Or at least I think it is not really obvious how to use it. 1. How can add a new connection to a tile server? Is the browser the only way? If yes, I hope that an additional entry to Layer --> Add Layer menu could be added - all other layer types can be added this way. 2. What is a correct URL? This is really hard to find out. F.e. I went to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_servers and tried to copy some URLs and failed about finding the correct syntax. I added the layer to the project --> nothing happened. No display, no error message. Maybe because the projections do not match? - or would QGIS reproject on the fly? 3. Can we add some popular tile map server URLs by default - similar to the QuickMapServices plugin? 4. How can one edit an existing tile server connection - e.b. change title or URL? Currently, one can only delete and re-add it. ----------------- Thank you for your reply, Andreas
