[Qgis-developer] QEP about Multimap support for QGIS

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi,
This is a long awaited feature, partially fullfilled by DockableMirrorMap
and Auxiliary windows plugins. I'm glad someone reactivates work in that
area :)
Keeping it simple in API and in UX are the main obstacles. QGIS was seen as
a user friendly GIS because there was no hard multimap ergonomy. We must
find our way to have it pretty simple in a user point of view. Composer's
redesign into Layout is also deeply impacted.

+1 for a QEP, there are so much changes implied in that, UX, API, but also
map and layer presets that currently allow the multimap workflow.

Cheers
Régis
