Hi Oliver, I agree with Regis we can't be making this kind of changes very often based on this many "users took time to learn a professionnal tool, and have difficulties with self learning", this is specially true when you look at tutorials online which haven't been updated for 2.0 or 2.2 and can

Hi ! Thanks for your reactions ! Below is an updated suggestion, which tries to keep the spirit of separated identified features and selected features concepts, while still providing some usage improvements. One thing I'm not at ease with is the point about "not changing the ergonomics". I mean,

+1 with Andreas for the same reasons . Another one is that we should really now take care of not changing ergonomy of main tools on each version...because many users took time to learn a professionnal tool, and have difficulties with self learning. IMHO, strong ergonomy changes should be grouped an

Hi, I am skeptical - mainly for the reasons you list in your rationale against it. Selection and identification are really two different tasks. You do not want to loose your selection just because you want to query the attributes of the feature. Identification works with all layers, while selecti

Hi Olivier, I always thought it was a good idea, and you did a nice overview. That would be a big +1 for, me, mainly because there is a big redundancy between these two features. Also, I think that the identify modes should be cleaned up. The new "layer slection" mode is very useful and does s

2014-04-02 Thread Olivier Dalang
Hi ! The discussions about this issue http://hub.qgis.org/issues/9907 raised the question (at least for me) of merging the concepts of Identified features and Selected features. I don't know if it's the good moment to discuss this, but since we have a few other threads talking about a bit more de
