Description
I don't know why, but i can't reproduce this (http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/95498/how-to-bring-feature-selection-into-printing-composer) with QGis 2.4 and 2.6
It's very useful with QGis 2.2.
Can it be integrated as an option ?

The map selection (not the identify highlighting as described in that stackexchange post) did show in the composer until qgis 2.2. I'm not sure why after it stopped. Maybe is a bug but personally I don't think it is the right way anyway to bring in the composer highlighted features, that should be done using vector symbology.

For some users (who using a GIS like a simple viewer) is really useful. He didn't want explore symbology.

Showing a selection in composer was a bug which was fixed for 2.4 - which is why that stackexchange method no longer works.
If you really want to show selections in composer outputs you can use the "isselected" function from the expressions+ plugin, and style your symbology to change the actual rendering of features based on whether they are selected or not. That method works well with composer.

I hoped that this wasn't a bug but a feature
But, thank you for the solution "expression+". That works well.

Hi,
Nyall, Giovanni, could you develop on why this is not a good idea to allow displaying the current selection in a composer map ? (with an option, say)
I don't have a prior opinion, ... just to understand :)

Hi Hugo, mine just a personal (not strong) opinion/preference, just that :)
