This seems to become general "ideas about QMS" thread. So let me add 
some of my ideas after using QMS under "production" conditions for some 
time. The overall impression is excellent. You no longer need to go 
forth and back through overlays when you want to add some points to a 
track. Managing map views with multiple layers is really powerful and 
easy to control. Great!

What is still confusing me, although I well understand the principle, is 
the way databases and the workspace are managed, I mean the need to put 
a copy of a database item to the workspace in order to access it. To 
save a track from a db to a gpx file, one has to add the track to the 
workspace and then copy it to a GIS project. The same procedure the 
other way round to import a gpx track to the db. What is most confusing 
for me is that the database folder hierarchy is not visible in the 
workspace. Group folders, which mainly serve to structure data, can not 
even been shown in the workspace and other folders are all shown on the 
same level.

I would have preferred to have no database window but databases be 
treated in the same way as GIS files: add a db to the workspace, 
show/hide db items on the map by checking/unchecking the checkbox, 
update the whole database or selected items. However, I understand that 
the workspace / database solution has been chosen for good reasons and I 
do not propose to change it.
