[Qgis-developer] qlr files and preservation of layerids

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I have a scenario where I would like to use qlr files, but need the old 
layer ids preserved when I import them into the project. I see that in 
its current incarnation the layerid is not exported and hence also can't 
be imported.

The reasoning is that other projects link to layers into my projects 
(embedded layers and groups) and thus layer id preservation is 
important. In my projects I would need to replace some layers with qlr 
layers that have similar settings, but differ a bit. Thus the layer ids 
need to be preserved.

Could there be an option when exporting and/or importing the qlr files 
that would allow the preservation of the layer ids?

Thanks,
Andreas
