I found this one, for allowing the specification of a "bbox" column to use for filtering: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/9516 And this, to allow keyword substitution: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/4374 I guess the latter would deprecate the former.

I guess a plugin could effectively change the query associated with a layer so to filter by current bbox against an arbitrary column, but I'm not sure what would be "quicker"... --strk; _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
