[Qgis-developer] Mapserver Exporter Bug?

[Mauricio de Paulo]

Please, can you test this mapserverexport update? I've written the str() 
function on every qwidget that might need the type cast. And i did some other 
fix that i don't remember (hum... i think that it was the exporter wrong 
layers' ordering)
Hope it works.
See ya.
