[Qgis-developer] A trip down memory lane - .avl style support in QGIS

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

I have parts of it working (default load and save is implemented) and
already my maps look more beatiful with less effort since a decent
default style is being automatically loaded with each layer. The
updates to the ui are done:

After my changes (see pics for comments):

Personally I think the UI is much less busy looking now and less
confsing since point symbols are hidden when they are not relevant.

Marco sld out (and in?) will be a neat addition!

Tim
