Fix Layer-Widget (interaction with "on map Layerwidget")

[AndreasEugster]

Hi

There is the option to link a layer-widget with the "layer-widget on the map-widget". Within the standalone layer-widget there is an option to hide layers. In ExB Dev 1.12 that was translated to the on-map-widget. In ExB Dev 1.13 this does not work anymore?! bug ?

Cheers,

Andi

This is not a bug. In the previous release, we only supported 1-to-1 connect from a Map Layers widget to a Map widget; however, in the new release, we supported the connection to the same Map widget from multiple Map Layers widgets, meaning you can use ML1 to display layer ABC and ML2 to display layer DEF.

These settings won't affect the map tool since it shows all layers by default.

Thanks for the reply. I see... Are you guys considering then to extend the map-widget-layer-functionality beyond the default behaviour? Would be usefull if we could use the same settings as in the layer-widget:)

That would be something we can think about. It makes good sense with a 1-to-1 connection, however, given that we do not limit how many ML widgets are connected anymore, with a large amount of user requests, honoring which widget could be a problem.

That said, feel free to add this to our Ideas channel. We will continue to watch the feedback and evaluate the possibility of an enhancement. Thanks for bringing it up!
