[Qgis-developer] Reliable way to determine a groupIndex in the legend tree

[Nathan Woodrow]

Check out the layer combinations plugin. It's really cool which let's you create combinations of layer states to turn on and off.

Would be great to add this as a core feature.

(ie, imagine radio buttons instead of checkboxes for controlling the visibility of layers within that group).
