[Qgis-developer] [Processing] how to handle selections

[Victor Olaya]

hmm, not a bad idea, but it is actually very easy to do that using
standard QGIS methods (you can see how simple the fix i made is). The
advantage of vector.features is that it honors the option setting,
without the developer having to take care of that.

Cheers
