VectorToMap (Atlas & Layout) 3.3.0 — QGIS Python Plugins Repository

Changelog

🚀 What's New in Version 3.3.0

✨ New Features & UX (User Experience)

Smart Scale and Zoom Controls: The mathematical expression (ε) input
boxes are now smartly hidden and only activated when the user
explicitly selects the "Use Column or Expression" option, providing a
much cleaner interface for beginners.

North Arrow Selector: Added a new option for users to dynamically
choose the North Arrow design (Minimalist, Classic, or Compass Rose),
leveraging the native QGIS SVG library.

New Default Scales: Included 1:25,000 (set as the new initial
default), 1:50,000,000, and 1:100,000,000 scales for national or
continental scope maps.

Informative Tooltips: Added one-line context tooltips to the
data-defined override (ε) buttons, helping users understand exactly
what the formula will change in the final layout.

🐛 Bugfixes

Lifecycle Shielding: Resolved a fatal error (RuntimeError: wrapped
C/C++ object has been deleted) that caused QGIS to crash abruptly if
the user deleted the vector layer or closed the project during a long
batch export.

Attributes Update: Fixed a bug that kept the attribute list of the
previous layer cached when closing and reopening the plugin window in
the same session.

Backward Compatibility: Applied fixes to the PyQt code (.exec vs
.exec_()) to ensure message boxes work flawlessly in both QGIS 4.0 and
older versions of QGIS 3.

🎨 Design & Performance

Full QGIS 4 Dark Mode Support: Rewrote CSS rules for UI buttons
(ToolButtons and the Information button) to ensure high contrast and
readability, removing black background anomalies that hid the icons.

Preview Engine Optimization: Cleaned up dead code and removed
redundancies in signal triggering. The Preview screen now processes
and renders only once per user action, saving processing power and
memory.
