Greetings, Matthias there is one point that you raised that should be a non-issue. The barrier of entry aspect, I think this is false. Non-core contributor often need to write more documentation to showcase the use of their work and its behaviour. In some way documenting properly things is more o

Hi Thanks for raising this topic Alessandro. I agree we need better documentation. Some questions: What do we do with interesting feature pull requests and no documentation? Stale away? Who decides if the quality of the documentation is good enough? Who decides if documentation is required? Will

If there is a large cluster of points obscuring the selected point, even that method will not work. Has there been any interest in changing this behavior in QGIS? On Thu, Apr 15, 2021 at 11:46 AM Nicolas Cadieux < njacadieux.git...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > Indeed... I usually select a thicker l

I have a user complaint with QGIS who explained that when point features overlap and one is selected from the attribute table but is underneath other features, you cannot see it highlighted because it is covered by other points. Is there any way to have it show that there is a highlighted feature
