[Qgis-developer] Adding symbols through API needs QGIS restarts to show up

[Akbar Gumbira]

Hi Martin,

Thanks, seems to work. I read a bit the cpp code in Style Manager DIalog
that it will load the default style when showing up the dialog. So I
thought once it's written correctly to the database, it will not have this
problem. Thanks for the explanation, it's clear now what the API's are
meant to do.
