[Qgis-developer] [QGIS-Server] ComposerMap as overviewFrameMap in GetPrint ?

[Marco Hugentobler]

 >* fixed extent

I don't know if this is always true. Sometimes the overview map is only 
zoomed out a bit (e.g. QGIS map canvas overview map is not necessarily 
zoomed to full extent, it can also move).

It would be straightforward to add an attribute to the 
GetProjectSettings xml document. Then the client could set the overview 
extent.

Marco
