<ul></ul><p>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.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #11929: Show feature selection into Composerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/11929?journal_id=583972014-12-30T00:45:22ZLoïc BARTOLETTI
<ul></ul><p>For some users (who using a GIS like a simple viewer) is really useful. He didn't want explore symbology.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #11929: Show feature selection into Composerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/11929?journal_id=583982014-12-30T01:02:44ZNyall Dawson
<ul><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>wontfix</i></li><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Closed</i></li></ul><p>Showing a selection in composer was a bug which was fixed for 2.4 - which is why that stackexchange method no longer works.</p>
<p>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.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #11929: Show feature selection into Composerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/11929?journal_id=584202015-01-02T00:41:49ZLoïc BARTOLETTI
<ul></ul><p>I hoped that this wasn't a bug but a feature</p>
<p>But, thank you for the solution "expression+". That works well.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #11929: Show feature selection into Composerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/11929?journal_id=626952015-06-29T05:27:05ZHugo Mercierhugo.mercier@oslandia.com
<ul></ul><p>Hi,</p>
<p>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)<br />I don't have a prior opinion, ... just to understand :)</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #11929: Show feature selection into Composerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/11929?journal_id=627092015-06-30T09:04:03ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
