<div dir="ltr"><div>For the UI side of things, I'd also like to see {QuickMapServices, OpenLayers} updating its code so that - on QGIS >= 2.18 - layers are served as native TMS support. That'd make pre-existing users of those plugins able to continue using the same UI as before, while benefiting from Martin's phenomenal work (raster manipulation support, rotation support, progressive rendering, etc.).<br><br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 2:12 PM, Martin Dobias <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wonder.sk@gmail.com" target="_blank">wonder.sk@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 2:38 PM, Richard Duivenvoorde<br>

<br>
</span>Yeah the WM(T)S dialog could get a lot of love... It is quite<br>
complicated and the user experience is not great.<br>
<br>
I am not sure XYZ layers should be even handled within WM(T)S dialog -<br>
there is nothing like GetCapabilities, layer/style/crs selection etc.<br>
<br>
XYZ layers would still deserve some kind of configuration GUI - apart<br>
from URL, users should be able to set min/max zoom levels. The current<br>
solution was just a quick way to make XYZ layers available to users...<br>
<br>
