<ul></ul><p>I don't think it is user misleading - each of these special attributes starts with dot (.AREA for polygons, .LENGHT for lines) so it is easy to find out which attribute is attribute from table and which is the special attribute.</p>
<p>Btw. it is not only GRASS layers related. This 'Idetify feature' window is shown for all non-editable ('Allow editing' unchecked) layers.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #100: identify tool: the .Area "column" is missleaadinghttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/100?journal_id=128702006-05-15T16:01:32ZGavin Macaulay -gavin@macaulay.co.nz
<ul></ul><p>We could add a tooltip that states that the column is a derived one...</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #100: identify tool: the .Area "column" is missleaadinghttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/100?journal_id=128712006-07-11T16:53:18ZBrendan Morley -morb@beagle.com.au
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li></ul><p>Perhaps the Area, Length, etc can be put in a differing style to distinguish them from the layer attributes.</p>
<p>There are two ways I can think of to do this:</p>
<p>1. In QT4 style, the <a class="wiki-page new" href="https://issues.qgis.org/projects/qgis/wiki/QgsIdentifyResults">QgsIdentifyResults</a> window can be promoted to a QTreeWidget, which will allow differing fonts in the results pane. The derived attrbutes could be put in italics.</p>
<p>However, converting the Q3ListView to a QTreeWidget is not trivial and should be postponed past the 0.8 release. Which leads to the second way:</p>
<p>2. Perhaps a branch can be added in the identify-results window called "Derived Attributes", and all the calculated attributes added under that.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #100: identify tool: the .Area "column" is missleaadinghttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/100?journal_id=128722006-07-13T16:34:07ZBrendan Morley -morb@beagle.com.au
<ul><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>fixed</i></li><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>In Progress</i> to <i>Closed</i></li></ul><p>This should be addressed as of <a class="changeset" href="https://issues.qgis.org/projects/qgis/repository/revisions/8c38434f4f239127b771e2eae26227c781178750" title="In the Identify results window, derived attributes such as Length or Area are now placed in a sub...">8c38434f</a> (SVN r5593).</p>
<p>In the Identify results window, derived attributes such as Length or Area are now placed in a subtree of the attributes list called "(Derived)". This distinguishes them from explicit attributes that are a part of the user's layer.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #100: identify tool: the .Area "column" is missleaadinghttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/100?journal_id=128732009-08-21T22:46:00ZAnonymous
