[Qgis-user] how to export label background boxes

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Uwe,

This might only be part of the solution - but starting from QGIS 3.24 there
is a "label export" processing tool that exports the automatically placed
labels to a data set containing the label parameters. I haven't checked
though, if it also exports label backgrounds?

See https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/51836

If it misses the export of the background - perhaps that can be added to
that processing algorithm.You can either fix it yourself or ask a
commercial support provider.

But may I ask why you need these label backgrounds? Are you aware that QGIS
has advanced masking available? Search for "selective masking" in QGIS.
Label backgrounds in one layer can act as masks in other symbol layers.

Greetings,
Andreas
