Thanks Alessandro :-)

(I need some new reading glasses, or maybe a new brain. When you read 
the /Properties/ -> /Information/ tab for the layer, the needed 
information is shown in the tab with the prefix /*Source*: /! It 
shouldn't be that hard for me to guess!!)

Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards
