[Qgis-developer] Why a standalone app?

[Alister Hood]

Hi Bob,
I'm not certain, but I think that feature was added after 1.7, so you would need to run a trunk build to get it.
It is not using code - there is a dialogue in which you turn gui elements off and on, and save the settings in an .ini file.

Regards,
Alister
