Re: [QGIS-Developer] open atlas layout, using python
Hi Nyall, The setAtlasPreviewEnabled(True) still does not work correctly. It works exactly like the python workaround you mentioned: It toggles the atlas button but does not activate the atlas. I mean, the prev and next buttons stay disabled and the map does not display page number 1. If I then, turn off and on the atlas preview, it works as expected. Does it need to get some kind of gui redraw/update call?

Re: [QGIS-Developer] open atlas layout, using python
Thank you Nyall, compiling now. Yesterday I was asked to create a plugin that works on layouts, so it will need a button in the layout composer. I think I could do this the same fragile/hacky way, but is there a proper way? I also find it hard to create reports from python, but maybe that is still too young and not all finished?

Re: [QGIS-Developer] open atlas layout, using python
By the way, the fragile code solution does not work for me. It does toggle the button but it does not activate the atlas preview. # open layout designer = iface.openLayoutDesigner(layout) # turn on atlas preview mode lo_view = designer.view() lo_window = lo_view.window() action = lo_window.findChild(QAction, 'mActionAtlasPreview') action.toggle() On 11-10-18 16:51, Raymond Nijssen wrote: Hi Nyall, It sounded great and I spent some hours on that better approach, but I didn't succeed.

1. Can I open a layout window with a python command? 2. Can I turn on "atlas preview" with a python command? Hope anyone knows!
