[Qgis-user] QGIS Composer: exported image doesn't have the world file

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Andreas,

I can imagine users wanting to export a "map" with legend, annotations 
etc. with world file e.g. to serve through WMS or give to third parties 
(I am not judging if this is a sensible wish :) So why not support it 
and have the user set the map to be used if several maps are in the 
composer? This is especially true if it used to work in former versions 
(I do not know if this is true, though)

my 2 cents

Bernhard
