Ok,
But export raster map is good feature, a long time ago I sent you patch
that exports full map instead of view port (you discard it). It is useful
feature: I can open raster map, draw tracks, POI and other usefull info,
export it to file print it and take to the backpaking as a reserve map (in
additional to GPS, for example).
Referencing also good feature it makes QLGT more like Ozi. I don't think
that separate tool is needed. As a suggestion: make QMS plugin-extensible.
So, if I need referencing tool, I write plugin, it integrates to Main
menu/Other places and now I can create referenced map inside QLGT/QMS. Also
some other features can be implemeted via plugin interface. Also, plugins
can be distrubuted with QMS or as a separate projects. GUI tool for jnx
creation also good idea ;-)
Regard "random map place", one usecase: I click link in browser to
referenced map, "Download/Open with" dialog is appear, I select Open
with... QLGT/QMS and maps opens. I am happy :-)
About name... KDE4 writen from scratch (KDE2, KDE3 in most cases too) but
name is same. Really QLGT is a best GUI mapping application in Linux, so
keep its name is a good idea.
PS heh, sorry for my english :(
