[Qgis-user] Export WMS Layer

[lists at linfiniti.com]

Hi

Rainer you can use the option under the file menu to export the current wms view to an image file. The exported image will be georeferenced with a world file, so you can reopen it by adding the exported layer to qgis as a raster layer.

Regards

Tim

Rainer,

could be true, perhaps there is already s.th. for that.
I didn't use QGIS for longer time, but I know a bit about WMS...
