[Qgis-developer] Dropping the "render" checkbox

[Mathieu Pellerin]

Hmm, I'm -0 on this. I frequently use it to stop an ongoing rendering
process of large dataset(s). I realize it might be misusing that checkbox
as a stop ongoing rendering (vs. no rendering) but it's evidence it remains
useful.

That said if your open to ideas, it could go away if it's replaced by a
"stop current rendering" button. That button could actually be a spinner
logo to indicate that a rendering threat is running n clicking on it would
stop the process. That way, we could also get rid of the percentless
progress bar currently used as rendering feedback (which now looks odd next
to the task progress bar).

Hi all,

Was just chatting to Martin about this - and we both think it's time
to drop the "render" checkbox from the status bar.

This setting is a bit of a remnant from the pre-multithreaded
rendering days. Now, there shouldn't be any benefit in switching it on
---- and if there is ----- there's a bug which we need to fix!

There's not much code this saves, but it does help de-clutter the
crowded status bar.

Any objections?? Does anyone still need this checkbox?
