[Qgis-developer] Embedded group bug ?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Andreas and Michael

Working on the embedded group bug right now btw.

 >For layers, there is the layerIsEmbeded method of the QgsProject 
class, but what about groups ?

There is no such method for groups, because QgsProject does not know 
anything about groups. Only the legend knows about groups, and there is 
a C++ method QgsLegend::groupEmbedded, but without python bindings in 
the legend interface.


Regards,
Marco
