To: "qgis-dev" <<a href="mailto:qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org</a>><br><br type="attribution">Hi all<br>
<br>
I am happy to announce that I have just merged Arun's work on<br>
symbology. He has done a great job and after some testing I think the<br>
code is ready for prime time.<br>
<br>
What to expect?<br>
- style manager has been greatly improved:<br>
- grouping of symbols (including child groups of groups)<br>
- tagging<br>
- "smart" groups (showing only symbols matching some criteria).<br>
- search<br>
- symbol selector and properties dialogs have been integrated to just<br>
one dialog, improving the usability a lot<br>
- style database is now stored in a SQLite database rather than an XML<br>
file for better scalability<br>
- style import improvements: load style directly from given URL,<br>
saving imported symbols into a group<br>
- SVG fill: shows directories for easier traversal through the SVG directories<br>
- surely some more goodies I've forgotten to mention!<br>
<br>
Please note that with the transition of styles to SQLite database you<br>
will find your style empty - but don't worry! You can import all your<br>
saved symbols and color ramps from ~/.qgis/symbology-ng-style.xml -<br>
from now they will be stored in ~/.qgis/symbology-ng-style.db.<br>
<br>
Arun: thanks for your hard work and I hope you will continue to<br>
contribute to QGIS! :-)<br>
Also many thanks to Nathan for co-mentoring and lots of great ideas<br>
for the GUI improvements that landed in the code.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Martin<br>
