AW: [Qgis-developer] printing branch ready for testing

[Hugentobler Marco]

Hi John,

Thanks for your feedback.

>another map to the composer window seems to fail

After adding one item to the composer, the active tool automatically switches to 'select'. Because usually, people want to move or resize an item after adding it. Does it work if you choose the 'addMap' Tool a second time for the second map?

Right, I'm going to test on Mac too.

Regards,
Marco

Marco,

It built and installed well on OS X 10.5.4 and Qt 4.4.1. The  
attachment shows some layout issues. After I add a map, trying to add  
another map to the composer window seems to fail. Using the print  
function, then sending the print output to OS X's Preview.app to view  
the print output caused a crash. Here is some of the output, possibly  
relevant:

I can do some more testing as you progress, but will be in and out of  
touch for the next several days.
