[Qgis-user] Saving layers

[Lene Fischer]

Hi Jonathan
If you have a standard style - you can in Styles make a 'Save as default'. When you open a similar layer it will have the same style.

Emne: Re: [Qgis-user] Saving layers

Hi Richard,
That's useful to know, however I was planning on using it with Oracle layers so it wouldn't work for me. Basically what we do with ArcMap (.lyr) and MapInfo (.tab) is create links to data which we share on a network drive so that our users can easily access our data pre-styled. It works quite well so if we go toward QGIS we'd want to use it there too.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

one 'hidden' feature is that if you save a style as a qml file next to
your data (shape file), and name it exactly the same as your shape,
loading the shp in qgis will load the style with it.

BUT: only working with filebased data, and NOT saving your extent I think.

You can save a project, and use it as a template. And if I recall
correct there was some way to use one project as a subprobject for
another one, but I cannot find it anymore...

Regards,

Richard
