Select Multiple Geometries #54

Open dcwestph opened 7 years ago

dcwestph commented 7 years ago

First of all I love this plugin, thanks for the work. What I'd really like to have is the option to select/format multiple features. This would work like search for a name, select it and then have some option to freeze that geometry and select a color/fill then perform a new search and add that geometry.

I'm not sure I follow the idea. What would be the use case?

For example if you had many parcels of land and you wanted to search for Company A's land then compare it to Company B's land. Right now you can search for Company A and it gets pulled up and outlined then if you want to see company B the original search outline disappears. I'd like to keep that original search outline and then each subsequent search would be included on the map (preferably with an option to select outline color) until a button is pressed to clear all searches.

I think this is a bit out of range of this plugin which aims at finding features (but is not able to select them) by moving the map to them.

I think this should be achieved otherwise, by using search in forms or something like that.
