[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] Opinion on an idea for plugin - Print composer guide manager

[Nyall Dawson]

Hi Alexandre,

I agree that this would be a really useful feature - it's been on my
(lengthy!) to-do list for a while now. However, I think ideally this
should be implemented directly within QGIS, rather than as plug in.
I'm happy to work with you on this if you'd like guidance.
