<div dir="ltr">Hey all,<div><br></div><div>I would like to get some opinions on Save, Load, Restore Default Style.. buttons. Personally I find these labeled wrong for what action they take. Originally these buttons would only save the information from the Style tab out to a .qml file however now that has evolved to saving other information that is not related to style, things like;:the edit forms; included WMS, excluded WMS, etc. To me these are more properties of the layer and less about the style so the name is misleading. Sharing these also becomes hard because if I only want the style part it can also override the label and form settings I have. Hand editing the XML is the only real option to remove the other settings, which is a pain</div>
<div><br></div><div>Proposing: Rename from Save, Load Style to Save Properties, Load Properties.</div><div><br></div><div>Motivation: I would like to add the ability to save just the style information out to a new file type (maybe something like .qstyle) that would just contain the renderer-v2 XML block. This would allow sharing of just the renderer style and would also give me the ability to expand the Style Manager to allow saving of prebuilt styles e.g I would like to premake a planning scheme style that all ready contains the right values to symbols that I could share and load. By Mixing non style information in the .qml files means this is not as simple as it could be. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We could also expand the above logic to only save the label section out to create a label "style" manager. </div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>- Nathan</div></div>
