I would like to display only say the 50 most important features of a<br>
layer in a QGIS project when I zoom out and in. Almost all features<br>
have an attribute qrank starting at NULL or 1, and the larger qrank<br>
is, the more "important" the object is. Here is a demo of the web app<br>
<a href="https://castle-map.infs.ch/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://castle-map.infs.ch/</a><br>
<br>
You can set a filter by right-clicking on the layer, e.g. as follows:<br>
SELECT * FROM “castles_etc_ranked_osm_2025” ORDER BY qrank DESC LIMIT 50;<br>
<br>
The problem is that QGIS only applies this filter (and SQL) once (when<br>
setting up the filter). However, I want QGIS to update this filter and<br>
reapply it every time someone's zooming or panning.<br>
<br>
I have looked in vain at the options for “Update Layer with notify” in<br>
the layer menu in the “Display” tab. I also tried it with a view and<br>
the file manager, but without success.<br>
<br>
1. Can QGIS be configured this way? E.g. with Dynamic Provider Filter Plugin?<br>
2. I think a small Python script (QGIS Python Console) could be<br>
another solutions. But which signals would I need to intercept?<br>
<br>
