[Qgis-developer] Composer Management

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Kelly,

I am doing something similar for my company but I am developing it for 
the next release, because master has QgsComposition::loadFromTemplate 
method, which 1.8 has not.

However to get a new printComposer you can use
self.iface.actionPrintComposer().trigger()
which adds a new composer to the project's list of composers. But AFAIK 
you can not load a template into it with 1.8
