[Qgis-user] Help reusing QGIS action

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Brent,

I hope I got the intention of what you want to achieve....
Talking about layer actions you could define the same action for each of 
your layers calling the batch script and passing the point's id. Or you 
could create a Python action (functionality provided by a plugin) that 
lists all species for each point. This would be platform independent, too.

Currently I need to create the action separately for each species - when I have hundreds of species, this gets very cumbersome - so storing & re-using the action would be useful, just as I can reuse a style for each species layer with catch size based symbology.
