[Qgis-developer] Moving a layer with PyQGIS using the new layer tree

[Germán Carrillo]

Thank you Luigi.

So, I guess the following code would be enough to make the example given in
[1] much more generic:

#######
cloned_group1 = node_group1.clone()
root.insertChildNode(0, cloned_group1)

parent = node_group1.parent()                   # new code

parent.removeChildNode(node_group1)     # replace root by parent
#######


Wouldn't make sense to post such modified example instead?

Regards,

Germán
