Improve "Bad layer" dialog and behaviour #9

Closed haubourg closed 3 years ago

haubourg commented 7 years ago

The idea is to keep layers in qgis even if they have a worng datasource, and be able to update it afterwards. That way a user can still edit a project without deleting unhandled layers

I believe this could be an option in the Dialog, something like a "keep bad layers". But for that, we would probably need to implement a way of having "ghost" layers, because this layers should not be visible or used in any other widgets.

Another idea would be to, once the user fix a one of the layers, QGIS try to find and fix similar (in the same path layers).

Implemented in qgis/QGIS#9620 and many others
