Problem:
Currently, to copy features from a background vector map, the map must be
specified in vdigit preferences. To see what I'm copying, I must also add
the same vector map in the layer manager. So I need to specify the same
map twice. If I need to copy attributes from a different, I again have to
change the setting in vdigit preferences.
Solution:
It would be a really practical enhacement, if the background map could be
selected in the layer manager alone, instead.
So if you have a given vector map selected in the layer manager, it is the
map the features are copied from when "Copy features from (background)
map" is used in vdigit.
Simpler and intuitive IMO.
