Hi Stefan, Thank you for the suggestion. Group by is a reference to SQL (I use Postgis a lot). Maybe for a GIS program, dissolve is better. I'll change the terms, maybe with "Dissolve (new)" until we get rid of the old plugin. Michaël Le 03/02/2016 15:31, Stefan Steiniger a écrit : perfect

Hi, To give more food for thought about layerable hierarchy, I have an old project in mind to create VirtualLayers. A VirtualLayer would be the dataset of another Layer. It may be read-only. Its main purpose is to have more than one style associated to a single datasource and to be able to int

sure, go ahead. it's just important to me that we talk about it first and find an ordered approach that takes into account the existing API. i am a big fan of small steps, but into the right direction. meaning a big overhaul refactoring is possibly bringing more problems than the whole cleanup

How do you guys feel about having Peppe and I review our existing layerable class/interface architecture and come up with a proposal for clean-up and revisions. I think some of Peppe's suggested methods are useful, but agree with Ede that we need to plug them into the correct interface. I think th

perfecto. @Michael: If we replace "dissolve" then we need to take care about the name of the new plugin. Ideally its the same, because "Dissolve" is a Function well known and used in ArcGIS. So people may look for such, because they know the name. So, while "Group by" is intuitive, we probab

Hi Peppe, +1 for removing old plugins which have been replaced by new ones (if the new one includes former plugin capabilities). I've also the project to remove dissolve plugin (which should be replaced by the new Group By plugin), but I'll wait after 1.9.1 release (if any) to make sure I do

Thanks Stefafan for the answer - RasterColorEditor. We can substitute the menu entry (under Raster menu) in order to point to RasterStylesExtension to save compatibility with user habits. This plugin derives from SIGLE similar tool that you ported to OpenJUMP, removing external libs depency - so I
