Re: [QGIS-Developer] Dropping "render" checkbox from status bar
Hi Nyall / all, You might be interested that the Ordnance Survey documentation for OS Features API makes use of the "render" check box in the setup when pulling data from their API. See https://osdatahub.os.uk/docs/wfs/gettingStarted under QGIS and search for "render". Whether or not this is a good idea or is needed I don't know but I thought you might be interested that it is used here. For the record - I am not linked with Ordnance Survey and didn't write the instructions, I just used them a couple of times! Best wishes, Nick.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Dropping "render" checkbox from status bar
Yes! I find this useful, sometimes. Use case: Sometimes I'll use the Db manager to write a query which I add as a view. With a few million points. Said layer is created dynamically, so it takes a while to render with the default symbology. If I can turn off rendering, I don't need to wait for ages for it to render, I can select the layer and export it as a GPKG, and then import it. At no point does QGIS GUI become unresponsive - I can just uncheck the box. I just don't want to wait around for a render I don't need I hope that makes sense! I'm sure there's a better way in QGIS I'm not aware of :) Steven On Sun, Oct 15, 2023 at 8:39 PM Vedran Stojnović via QGIS-Developer < qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org> wrote: > Hi Nyall, > > I find it useful from time to time with complex layer rendering when it > takes several seconds or more to render a map canvas and I want to > investigate attributes currently shown on screen. > > My procedure is as follows: > 1) zoom at the appropriate level and lock rendering > 2) open the attribute table and set it to display items visible on the map > 3) move around the map zooming in and out and analyzing the results > > > ned, 15. lis 2023. u 21:30 Nyall Dawson via QGIS-Developer < > qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org> napisao je: > >> Hi list, >> >> Question: are there still any valid use cases for the "render" >> checkbox in the status bar?

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Dropping "render" checkbox from status bar
Hi Nyall, I find it useful from time to time with complex layer rendering when it takes several seconds or more to render a map canvas and I want to investigate attributes currently shown on screen. My procedure is as follows: 1) zoom at the appropriate level and lock rendering 2) open the attribute table and set it to display items visible on the map 3) move around the map zooming in and out and analyzing the results ned, 15. lis 2023. u 21:30 Nyall Dawson via QGIS-Developer < qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org> napisao je: > Hi list, > > Question: are there still any valid use cases for the "render" > checkbox in the status bar?

[QGIS-Developer] Dropping "render" checkbox from status bar
Hi list, Question: are there still any valid use cases for the "render" checkbox in the status bar? It's been around forever, and DID have a strong use case when map rendering used to block the QGIS interface. But is there any reason to keep this around in modern QGIS versions?
