batch saving distribution maps with two distribution periods

[DiemerV]

Dear Rich,

A nice extension of the plugin would be if one could save two layers per map when badge saving maps. I'm making an atlas of the mammals of the Brussels capital region and in every map I want to compare the distribution of the previous atlas period (squares) with the distribution in the current atlas period (circles). It works perfecty to generate these layers with your plugin and combine them in the print composer (see image below), but as far as I know it is not possible to use the badge saving mode in your plugin to automatically generate this combination of distributions for each species to images. That would be a nice addiation to the plugin. :-) Unless you know a way to work around?

Best regards,
Diemer

Hi Diemer,

There's no way to do this at present. I've labelled it as a feature request which I'll review when I next work on the plugin. The only way of generalising this behaviour, that I can think of, would be to for the software to display/hide layers by taxon name - so if two layers present with same taxon name, they would both be displayed. However, I'm not sure about the general utility of this so I will have to think about it.

Hi Rich,

Thanks anyway for considering it!
