[Qgis-user] Re: qGIS WMS client question

Hi Marc!

Thanks for answering my question! You're right that MapServer only can
produce two levels of named group layers, but thats not the main issue. The
WMS specification states that a service can have as many (or not any at all)
nested group layers, and the group layers can have a name and a title or
only a title. You can even mix and match group layers with and without a
name in the same service. If a group layer doesn't have a name it's only
meant as a hint to the client on how to structure the TOC, but if a group
layer has a name it can be requested in a GetMap request. On the other hand
requesting all layers the way qGIS currently does is also perfectly legal,
even if the service publishes named group layers.

The problem (or bug) with the current WMS client is that qGIS requests the
layers in revers order if a user only selects the top group layer in the
layer list, or selects group layers form top to bottom in the layer list
dialog.

BTW. How do you enable WMS request debug output from qGIS (to capture the
GetMap request)?
