Hi, on the User-mailing list:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2020-April/045348.html there was a question about the 'Refresh Layer at interval' checkbox in the Properties/Rendering tab. I was wondering what the idea was behind it, as apparently it is only repainting a layer? While F5 (menu 'View/Refresh') is actually refreshing the data to (shown by retrieving a geojson layer from a mini service). Is this by design? Or could it be an issue? To me a real refresh checkbox (a la F5) would be useful to users. As this opens the use-case to for example hand an geojson-url to a vector layer which could retrieve a 'live data' containing the latest position of cars, or the latest measurements of a set of measuring points etc etc. And to be honest I do not see so much the value of repainting the canvas (other then when you want moving features created by an expression or so). And IF the repainting is valuable for a certain use-case: fine. Then: what about adding a second checkbox then there...? Anybody has an idea about this?
