QGIS – Version 3.14 (Pi) Now Released

by David Crowther

QGIS version 3.14 (Pi) has just been released and as usual it has some great new enhancements.

Here are some of my favourites which I am looking forward to trying:

• Identify Tool Support for QGIS Vector Tile Layers
• New Tool to Deselect Features from an Active Layer
• Drag and Drop Layers between multiple QGIS Instances
• Open and View Attribute Tables as TABS
• Place Labels outside of Polygon Features

I know that I am looking forward to docking the Attribute Tables as TABS… I have been wanting to do this for a long time!

If you wish to use this new feature, you will need to edit the Settings for QGIS.. Settings > Options and on the Data Sources Tab, tick the box to Open new attribute tables as docked windows.

Now when you open a new Attribute Table it will be docked at the bottom below the map:

You can resize the Attribute window by pulling the panel up and down:

You can also move the Attribute window to another docked location e.g. to the right of the map:

… you can even dock it on top of the Layers/Browser Panel:

And you can add multiple Attribute Windows as TABS on top of each other so you can easily switch between the tables:
