[Qgis-developer] QgsMapLayerRegistry.mapLayers() not available in Python Bindings

[Düster Horst]

Martin,

Thank you very much for your response. I think for my purposes
mapLayers() would be a good solution. So I'll wait for the wrapped
method.

Hi,

this function isn't wrapped so far because mapLayers() uses std::map
container which should be replaced with QMap instead. It's not a lot
of work, I'll do it probably soon.
Please note that theoretically QgsMapLayerRegistry can contain also
layers which are not part of the project (e.g. when using
georeferencer plugin it adds temporarily a layer to the registry).

In fact there is currently no way how to directly access all project's
layers correctly, since map canvas doesn't keep list of all layers
(only those which are visible) and it's not possible to access legend
from the plugin as it's not part of QGIS libraries :-/

One workaround would be to save the project and then use legend's
nodes to parse the list of layers, which is, well, quite inconvenient.
We should definitely do something with this. I guess for now wrapping
mapLayers() would do it...

Regards
Martin
