Hi,

Do you see a way to have the Inspector read only features falling into the extent of the Inspector's view? So let's say that you are looking at some specific situation with Shape file data in the Inspector but you need to add a layer from a large worldwide PostGIS database in order to get more context. However as this set of data is quite large, you don't want to read all records but ideally only those falling in the active view. There is already a way to add the envelope definition but I don't necessarily want to enter the 4 min/max values for each situation I want to inspect.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Olivier

The envelope definition is currently the only way to do this. If you want you can create an Idea for this and then maybe Safe will pick it up.
