Hi Naomi,
I have a few recommendations:
* if possible use a newer QGIS version like QGIS 1.7.x - there is a lot
of activity in QGIS development and it usually helps to stay with the
current stable version. One day you may even want to try OSGeo4W and the
trunk version ;-)
* Why do you want to open layers with Python? Is it not enough to just
load a QGIS project file? Is there a specific reason why you want to
load the layer with Python? It is certainly possible, but there may be
simpler options.
* The other requirement: why do you want a separate menu for layers if
there is a layer tree already where you can right-click and zoom to the
layer extent? If you insist on such functionality: there is a plugin
called "Layers menu from project".
Again: your requirement should be possible to fulfill with python - but
I fail to understand the requirement properly? What do you gain if you
have a separate tree in the menu if you already have a layer tree in
QGIS? Is it worth the effort developing such functionality?

Hi I am new to Quantum GIS,
The organization i work for wishes to introduce QGIS to the Pacific
Island Countries(the fact that is an Open source).
i would really appreciate your help/assistance.
The project that i am working on is to migrate a Project that i have
completed in MapInfo 10.0 using Map Basic 10.0 into QGIS.
"Customised MapInfo Display Of Land Cover Of The Low Lying islands"
I wish to display the same in QGIS.
My PC has :
· Windows XP(and so do the other users in the department to which i
will need to install QGIS in their systems when i get it working)
· Python 2.7
· QGIS 1.6.0
Is it possible
* Automatically open a layer using python “considering Windows
XP”(I see a lot of examples on linux and Unix)…If so can anyone
please guide me thru some codes or sites for more clarification.
* Write a program to create a dropdown menu in QGIS to select
layers
and it automatically zooms to the layer selected rather than using
the
layer control to select manually.(WINDOWS XP)
I have a whole lot of questions I will begin with these two…..
I appreciate your suggestions and hope to get positive responses..
Can anyuone help me with python codes that will do the two points
above...if possible.
Thanks
Naomi
