I would really like an option to allow advanced users to manually just SET the extents of a vector layer when first adding it, so that a full table-scan can be avoided to derive that result.
This still seems to happen, even though the “use estimated metadata” flag is checked, when first adding a layer. Gotta say that I too have built the new QGIS3 from source and it does seem quite usable … EXCELLENT work folks!! thanks - Chris > On Dec 2, 2016, at 7:54 PM, Nyall Dawson <nyall.daw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On 25 Nov 2016 9:22 PM, "Alexandre Neto" <senhor.n...@gmail.com > <mailto:senhor.n...@gmail.com>> wrote: > Hello all, > > QGIS 3 is getting lots of love, and we are seeing new features being added, > some legacy code being clean up, and so on.
