Hi Carlos, Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Some of the issues you mentioned are already addressed in the newer builds (1.4 and current trunk). On Tue, March 9, 2010 4:21 pm, Carlos Grohmann wrote: > Hello all.

This is already possible. You need to change the behavior: Options --> MapTools --> Identify Mode --> set to "top down" or "top down, stop at first" - depending if you want to get all hits or want to stop at the first hit. You need at least QGIS 1.4 or higher. > Symbology: Although the classification works fine, changing the color > for each class is painfull. Can we have color ramps or something like > it?

Good suggestion - I don't know if there are easy fixes for this. Good to hear that you are using QGIS in teaching! Keep us informed about progress and problems.
