[Qgis-developer] What about a qgis project add function ?

[Brent Wood]

Hi Michael,

That is very close... (but does have a bug- #9687 - I can save a style, then try to load it for the same layer opened a second time & get an error:
 
"error occurred while parsing reference at line 113 column 155")

The line in the QML file is the action, which is appended to"labeling/shapeFillColorB" as well as an action later in the file.
<property key="labeling/shapeFillColorB" value="255"/>eom https://atlas.niwa.co.nz/login/SearchService?SERVICE_REQUEST_TYPE=100&SERVICE_REQUEST_USERID=833&SERVICE_REQUEST_ASSETID=[% "atlas_id" %]&SERVICE_REQUEST_PASSKEY=public"

(Change the Atlas_ID value to 247002 or 247224 & open the URL in a browser to see the result if you are interested - it is for a map layer of echosounder transects to retrieve the echogram from our image management tool via a web service)


Anyway, apart from the bug, as I understand it, that allows me to save a style, which can then be applied to a layer, but does not inlude the layer data source.


I'd like to be able to open a layer  (sort of like a virtual dataset in ogr) by opening the QGIS layer file, & have the layer load & all settings applied automatically. Currently I need to open a layer, open properties, select style, load style, apply style every time I load the layer.


Cheers,

Brent

Brent,

Perhaps I have misunderstood your question, but I think you can achieve this simply by "save style as default" . Every time you will use the layer in any QGIS project, the default "style" (which mean the default properties of the layer) would be applied.

I suggest a slightly different approach (which may not be all that different once the details are  worked out?)
