[Qgis-developer] [Plugin] Added, deleted or changed features in a layer

[Aaron Racicot]

As far as I know the data exists in the private members of the
QgsVectorLayer class and currently there are not any access methods (or
bindings) to them.  Things like:

QgsFeatureIds mDeletedFeatureIds;
QgsFeatureList mAddedFeatures;
QgsGeometryMap mChangedGeometries;

I had a similar need the other day in a python plugin and had to bail and
ended up doing what I needed another way
 but access to these would be
great.  Maybe file a ticket and see how the devs feel about it.

Subject: [Qgis-developer] [Plugin] Added, deleted or changed features in a
layer

Hi all,

I am wondering how we can get the modified features (added, deleted,
changed) features in a vector layer ? In fact, when commiting changes, I
would like to make a special processing on the new, deleted or changed
geometries. However, I do not found any method in the VectorLayer class to
retrieve these geometries. Any idea ?

Best regards,

Olivier
