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

[Hugentobler Marco]

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for the feedback.

I added a busy cursor and fixed the problem with inverted item box.
Also, there is a fix for the crash when removing scalebar after removing the map.

> - sometimes the scalebar item is just a short vertical line. I haven't found a way to reliably reproduce this...
> - the legend for polygons puts the coloured rectangle below the layer name. Having the ability to have the coloured rectangle to the right of the layer name would be useful.

These two items are on my todo list.

Regards,
Marco

Marco,

I've done some testing of the printing branch. Much improved!
I have a few comments:

- when printing the map, qgis provides no feedback on when it has finished - perhaps a busy cursor is required here?

- the legend for polygons puts the coloured rectangle below the layer name. Having the ability to have the coloured rectangle to the right of the layer name would be useful.

- if I place a few items onto the composer, then click on one of them, press the delete key, and continue doing that, when I click on the last remaining item, qgis will crash (error on console is:

QgsComposerItem::setSelected
Fatal: ASSERT failure in QList<T>::at: "index out of range", file /usr/include/QtCore/qlist.h, line 393
Aborted

- if one resizes the rectangle that surrounds an item and drags it to the left and above the top left-hand corner of the original rectangle, one gets into a situation where the rectangle no longer surrounds the item and one loses the ability to move it back :(

- sometimes the scalebar item is just a short vertical line. I haven't found a way to reliably reproduce this...

Regards

Gavin
