[Qgis-user] Pro tips for beginners

[Michael Dufty]

My suggestion for great features that seem to often get left out of training.

-Use view themes for all your layouts, so you can go back and edit them (and have multiple layouts in one project)
-Drag and drop layers between projects.
-Copy and paste styles between layers.
-Copy and paste objects between layer.
-Memory Layer Saver plugin is awesome (sort of feel like I shouldn't have projects consisting entirely of memory layers, but it actually works very well).

For bug reports - although you shouldn't expect it, it is surprising how quickly things often get fixed (usually by Nyall Dawson at North Road).
Certainly less likely they will get fixed if no one reports them.
Sometimes preparing a proper bug report can solve your problem and reveal it wasn't actually a bug, or at least find a workaround (last time was an issue with my profile).

Hi All
I have asked my local AU community on any pro tips, but thought you might want to contribute as well.
I am presenting at the next Oceania FOSS4G in October on two themes:
- Pro tips for QGIS beginners
- Putting in a QGIS bug

If you think there is anything of interest that I should include in them, please feel free to let me know.

I am also trying to determine a term for an action that contributes to the sustainability of the QGIS Project. My working term is Kudos Karma Action in that you get kudos for doing it and there is karma there as you have helped sustain the project that not only benefits the community but you as well. Any thoughts on this????

Many thanks
Em
