VectorToMap (Atlas & Layout) 0.4.3 — QGIS Python Plugins Repository

Changelog

## 🚀 What's New in VectorToMap v0.4.3

This major update transforms VectorToMap into an even more powerful
tool for rapid exporting and flexible layout design.

### ✨ New Features
* **Export Map Only:** Added a new option to ignore the paper page and
export strictly the map item area. Perfect for generating clean map
cutouts for presentations, reports, or web design.
* **Transparent Backgrounds & Custom Colors:** Integrated the native
QGIS color picker! You can now freely change the map's background
color or drop the opacity to 0% to export PNG files with a 100%
transparent background (true Alpha channel).
* **Persistent Window (UX Improvement):** The plugin dialog no longer
closes automatically after completing an export or generating a
layout. This allows you to perform multiple consecutive exports with
different parameters (e.g., changing the layer or background color)
without having to reopen the tool.

### 🛠️ Under the Hood & Bug Fixes
* **Upgraded Image Engine:** Swapped the basic renderer for
`QgsLayoutExporter.ImageExportSettings`. This ensures that standalone
image exports are now generated in high-quality (300 DPI) and
completely fixes the bug where transparent PNGs would leak a white
background.
* **CSS Hierarchy:** The internal Python stylesheet has been optimized
to respect specific ID overrides (`#`) made directly in Qt Designer,
granting developers finer control over label styling.

### 🌍 Internationalization (i18n)
* **New Language:** Added official support for **Russian** (`ru_RU`),
significantly expanding the plugin's global reach.
* **Updated Dictionaries:** All language files (Portuguese, English,
Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, and Russian) have been
fully updated to support the new UI elements and tooltips.
