<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Closed</i></li><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>invalid</i></li></ul><p>that intentional. only the selected feature is highlighted. in case of a single identified feature that feature is selected automatically.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #2163: identify tool: only the first identified feature is highlightedhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2163?journal_id=206482009-11-29T02:48:02ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>I'm sorry, I don't get it.</p>
<p>The identify tool do highlight (with the red border, if is a polygon) the selected feature (that is already highlighted in yellow) only if it is the first identified feature.</p>
<p>If I select another feature I cannot see anymore the identify tool highlight the selected feature.</p>
<p>Moreover if the (single) feature I'm identifying is not already selected, then for me the identify tool do not select that feature automatically.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #2163: identify tool: only the first identified feature is highlightedhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2163?journal_id=206492009-11-29T03:03:49ZJürgen Fischerjef@norbit.de

<p>Sorry, I meant the selected feature from the identify results.</p>

<p>Ok, sorry again. I thought you were stating that you get a highlight with just one feature, but none for more features. You need to click on a feature in the result window to get a highlight in any case.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #2163: identify tool: only the first identified feature is highlightedhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2163?journal_id=206502009-11-29T03:09:15ZJürgen Fischerjef@norbit.de

<p>hm, strange, I thought I had found just that. But looking again, you get a automatic selection/highlight in the single case.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #2163: identify tool: only the first identified feature is highlightedhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2163?journal_id=206512009-11-29T03:23:35ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>Ok now I understand, nevertheless I would expect (from my user point of view) that the identify tool would highlight the features without having the need to click in the result pop up window.</p>
<p>In case of the tool getting more than one feature than see all the identified features highlighted. Then eventually highlight just a single one depending on where the user clicks in the results pop-up window.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #2163: identify tool: only the first identified feature is highlightedhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2163?journal_id=206522009-11-29T03:31:13ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>What I see is that the identify tool do not select any feature, and I don't expect the tool to do so.</p>
<p>The identify tool do not highlight the feature automatically either, but in this case I would expect the tool to do so, without having the need to click in the result pop-up window.</p>
<p>Moreover I see the following:<br />If I'm using the identify tool and I have an highlighted feature when I activate to the "select feature" tool (by clicking the icon in the toolbar), then the highlighted feature immediately... un-highlighted.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #2163: identify tool: only the first identified feature is highlightedhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2163?journal_id=206532009-11-29T03:44:26ZJürgen Fischerjef@norbit.de

<p>Ouch. That isn't any different from what I said before. I meant to say that you don't get an automatic highlight.</p>
<p>And again I speak about the selection in the identify results. The feature selection of the vector layer doesn't have anything to do with the identify tool.</p>
<p>From my view the highlight is only necessary, if you're unsure what you clicked on, otherwise it should be quite clear.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #2163: identify tool: only the first identified feature is highlightedhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2163?journal_id=206542009-11-29T03:54:42ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>ok :) as a fact I was puzzled...</p>

<p>ok again</p>

<p>This is where I disagree. But is just my opinion. I would find more useful to see the features automatically highlighted when clicked with the identify tool. I would like also to see <strong>all</strong> the features automatically highlighted in case the identify tools get more than one.</p>
<p>Please have a look also to the above</p>
<p>"_Moreover I see the following: If I'm using the identify tool and I have an highlighted feature when I activate to the "select feature" tool (by clicking the icon in the toolbar), then the highlighted feature is immediately... un-highlighted._"</p>
<p>to me this a small bug.</p>
