[Qgis-developer] SymbologyExport parameter

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

I'm not sure why the Symbology flag is not working (havent time to look
sorry) but a quick fix might be to do this (which worked for me in a quick
test):

error = writer.writeAsVectorFormat(aLayer, r"/tmp/out.shp", "CP1250", None,
"ESRI Shapefile", False, None,"","", False, None,
QgsVectorFileWriter.NoSymbology, 1.0)
aLayer.saveNamedStyle("/tmp/out.qml")

(u'Created default style file as /tmp/out.qml', True)

Hope that helps!

Regards

Tim
