Re: [Qgis-developer] Overview frame in composer
Thanks. I am playing with it now. It took me a couple of tries to see that it required more than one map item. This is a great addition to the composer!

Re: [Qgis-developer] Overview frame in composer
You have to have two map frames on your composer. On the the second one you select it to be a overview map of the first one. The UI might need some better naming to explain this better. - Nathan Sent from some fancy phone looking thingo From: John C.

On a map composer item, I want to add the overview frame. I can select an overview style, but the "Overview frame" drop-down menu only has the "none" option. Is there something I need to do to provide an overview choice in that drop-down, or is it possible that the list is not being populated on my OS X system and it is a bug? Let me know what I can do to help debug if it is the latter.

Thanks, Marco. Do you want a bug filed? On Jul 13, 2012, at 8:46 AM, Marco Hugentobler wrote: > Hi John > > It is a bug (the feature is still fresh).

Re: [Qgis-developer] Overview frame in composer
Hi John It is a bug (the feature is still fresh). The list does not get updated when you add new composer maps. But it already works if you add the overview map second, since the list gets populated with the composer maps that are already there. Regards, Marco Am 13.07.2012 17:33, schrieb John C.
