a am not sure about your catalog idea though as i feel, creating a image collection layer once and saving it with the project should be sufficient for most use cases. i think: A. we should place the image layer manager more prominently for users to discover this mechanism (higher in layer context menu, add to layer menu). B. replace the image layer icon with a multiple images icon ..ede On 15.03.2013 10:14, Jukka Rahkonen wrote: > Hi, > > Add image layer is much more than another name for "Open image file" but > nobody knows it and the image layer system has never been programmed > ready.
