Hi Nathan,<br><br>I think it is a great idea, and I would prefer your second proposal : "add a new UI in the labeling tab that fills with the symbols defined from style tab that lets you define labels for each symbol."<br>
<br>I agree with you with keeping a simple "default label". It will allow quick labelling configuration, and won't prevent "power users" from using a more complex labelling system per symbol if needed.<br>

Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I was playing around with some uDig, SLD and MapServer today and how they handle labeling features and I noticed that they do labels per class (per symbol in our case) and I remember seeing that rule based labeling was on the To-Talk-About list for the next hackfest and thought I would throw a few ideas about how I thought we could do it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have written a few details about my ideas here <a href="http://www.qgis.org/wiki/RuleBasedLabelingIdeas" target="_blank">http://www.qgis.org/wiki/RuleBasedLabelingIdeas</a></div><div><br></div><div>
Would love to hear other peoples thoughts on this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My motivation for thinking this would be good is that it's a pretty powerful feature in SLD and MapServer but all the UIs that I have seen to handle defining the labels per feature class/symbol are very below par IMO.</div>
