WMS list: change layer order, allow editing after addition

[neteler]

Please enable ordering for the GetCapabilities result table columns - e.g. the OSGeo WMS ​http://mapserver.flightgear.org offers many layers. It would be nice to be able to order them in different ways according to the available columns for easier navigation.

thanks, Markus

show nested layers in trees and allow sorting

I tried the patch briefly (you know, pre-christmas stress), and the patch adds important functionality to the WMS client. It would also be cool to have the possibility to change the position of layers with drag and drop and to keep that layer ordering for the request.

There is a warning in the console in case of WMS servers that have sublayers:

, 3520 Warning: QString::arg: Argument missing:

Is this important or can it be ignored?

applied to trunk in r9899.

Looks that would be much more work - maybe by adding a model. We should also extend that to changing the layer after is has been added.

I believe that was fixed in r9897.

Please submit the patch also to the 1_0 stability branch.

Partially solved in r10850: please specify what is still missing.

On QGis 1.2 seems to me that the initial request was fulfilled. Or it is still a work in progress?

Sorting works, thanks.
