<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>

Hi All,<br>
Please treat this as "thread enhancing" and not "thread
hijacking" :-)<br>
<br>
If there are going to be modifications done to styling,
please consider adding a feature whereby the various
styles chosen or experimented with, are auto-saved for
that mapsheet (perhaps in your project files).<br>
I find when editing, edge-matching or QAing various
mapsheets, I want to easily switch between styles - I
might choose "single symbol" for the map I am editing, but
"rule-based" for the adjoining maps. Rule based choices
would change depending on scenarios, so it does not make
sense to save a rule-based set (I could end up with too
many).<br>
So, what I am seeking is the ability to switch between the
5 style categories, and not lose the ones I may have set
up a few minutes ago. If I close QGIS, and come back to
the project later, I would like to see the last styles I
had set up for a mapsheet, still be available when I click
through the style options.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope I'm making myself clear.<br>
Thanks & regards,<br>
