Hi all, perhaps I'm missing something, but I find usability of current search mechanism a bit cumbersome. AFAICT, to search a set of features, the user should: * select on the legend the layer to be searched * open the attribute table * select the Column filter button, selecting one column * insert the condition * click Apply * click on Zoom to selection. Alternatively, one can use the Select by expression tool. Is there a more straightforward way?
I would suggest a simpler mechanism: * click on a dedicated Search button * select the layer to be searched from a dropdown of the layers in legend * show a form (with the dropdowns etc., as defined for the layer) where the user can select or type (with autocompletion and automatic selection of ranges) the search criteria * automatically zoom to selected items. Alternatively: * add a Search entry for each layer, besides the Filter one, in the legend > Right click. Would this make sense? All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini - www.faunalia.eu QGIS & PostGIS courses: http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
