[Qgis-developer] Saving expressions

[Anita Graser]

I agree with Alister that saving expressions for every layer seems
overly complex.

Maybe we could just have an interface similar to Spatialite GUI where
there are forward/backwards buttons besides the SQL input area. They
allow to go back in command history.

Best wishes,
Anita

Have you thought of just having a drop-down list of recently used expressions, and the ability to "pin" your favourite expressions to the list?  Do people really need expressions to be saved alongside the project/layer?

Even if you do implement "program" and "layer" lists of expressions, you could do something like that for the gui: display a list of recently used expressions grouped under "this layer" and "other layers", and with the ability to "pin" favourite expressions.
