[Qgis-user] WMTS

[Bruce, Bob (CWS)]

Jonathon,
		I agree that it would be preferable to have a button to choose a WMTS connection. This would help the user to know for sure which service that they are selecting. And it would sure help me because my standard base URL is the same for WMTS and for WMS. However I have been waiting for awhile to see WMTS working in QGIS so I'm happy to see it here in some (if not an ideal) fashion.

Is this something that should be documented though? That suggests this is desired behaviour.
As a user I'd expect QGIS to:
a) Figure it out automatically.
or 
b) Have a separate button for WMTS.

Requiring a user to add stuff to the URL is very suboptimal.

Hi Bob,
could you please check that this is correctly documented in the new
manual?
Thanks.
