Re: [QGIS-Developer] Handle Bad Layers - DISABLE instead of DELETE
Hi All, I have created QGIS Feature request #19790, "Handle Bad Layers - DISABLE instead of DELETE" about this problem. Change it to a BUG if it should be classified that way. I've summarized my ideas there. Please add your suggestions so this can be solved in the best way possible.

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Handle Bad Layers
Bad layer handling is not currently supported under QGIS3. for now. Best Regards.

[QGIS-Developer] Handle Bad Layers
Hi Devs, I have a question about the "Handle Bad Layers" dialog. My scenario is working offline and loading a project with WMS layers defined. As the WMS is unreachable, the layers are marked as "bad". Since the layers are not fixable while offline, they get deleted from the project. I would like to continue to edit the layers locally stored on my laptop and not lose the definitions of the WMS layers when saving the project. I would like to see the "bad" layers marked as "disabled because bad" and not deleted from the project. This would keep the stored information about the layer in the project. When the project is next opened while connected to the internet these layers would be available without having to enter them again. Is there currently a way to do this? Or should I add an enhancement request issue for this idea? -- *Worth Lutz* ___ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
