I don’t see any mention of “show selected features” becoming the default view 
on opening attributes tables? All Nyall is talking about is changing how it 
behaves once that mode is selected.

I would say -1 for having an empty table as the default behavior if no features 
are selected. It will rain complaints and bug reports saying that the table is 
not showing any their lovely features.

Hi Nyall,

Great idea!

Something that springs to mind though, I think you can only control this 
behaviour once you've opened an attribute table currently?  Would you also be 
looking to add another way to control it?  E.g. in the layer menu or on right 
clicking on a layer in the layers panel.

Subject: [Qgis-user] Changing behaviour of "show selected features" mode for 
attribute table

Hi all,

I'd like to raise discussion about changing the behaviour of the "show selected 
features" mode in the attribute table.

Over the last couple of weeks I've pushed fixes to both 3.0 and
(shortly) 2.18 to improve the performance of the attribute table when this mode 
is selected (Thanks to Faunalia and ENEL for sponsoring this!). With these 
changes *only* the selected features are fetched from providers to show in the 
attribute table, vs the current behaviour of fetching *everything* and then 
filtering out to the selection. It makes a huge difference for working with 
large layers.

Now - there's one last piece of this I'd like to land, but it changes the 
behaviour of this mode. Currently if you have the table set to "show selected 
features", but there's nothing selected, then ALL features are shown.

This kills the benefit of setting the table to show in this mode. If you 
accidentally open the table for a large layer with no selection, it'll force 
every feature to be fetched again.

I'd like to change this, so that no selection = nothing shows in the table. 
This means that users can safely set the attribute table to always show in 
"selected features" mode and be confident that they'll never hit the situation 
where every feature is fetched (unless of course they have selected *every* 
feature!).

Does anyone object to this change landing for 3.0 and 2.18?

Nyall
