When I write a layer as a shape file, it appears on my C: drive as
six files, all with the same name but different extensions. Then
I zip those six into a single file (xxx.zip). When I reload that
layer from the zip file (Layer > AddLayer > VectorLayer >
File > Dataset > xxx.zip), QGIS is almost smart enough to
restore the layer correctly. The polygon features are in the
right place and their attribute table is correct. <b>My
problem</b> is that it ignores one of the six files, the "style"
file (xxx .qml) which specifies color, labeling, and symbol). Do
I have to unzip before restoring layer xxx ? I know I could open
the layer's properties and use Style > Load Style from file
xxx.qml . But when I'm restoring several layers that's a lot of
key strokes (and may require that I unzip). It seems to me that
this shouldn't be necessary. [I encounter the same problem with
point layers and polygon layers.]<br>
