[Qgis-user] Sharing project files

[Michael Dufty]

I find the “Memory Layer Saver” plugin very useful, but it doesn’t seem to work for raster layers, so may not work for Dave in this case.
If I recall correctly I think the make permanent button may not appear on raster layers either.
Generating contours to a temporary file also seems to be a special case in that they save to a temporary file rather than a memory layer so neither of the above options work.
In these cases you need to “save as” the temporary layers to preserve them (or create them as permanent layers in the first place using the processing options).

Hi Dave,

indeed, temporary layers are only .. well .. temporary.
There are two ways to make them permanent (afaik):

a) Install the temporary layer saver plugin. This will save those layers within the project file
b) Don't know if this option already exists in 3.4, but in the context menu of a temporary layer, there should be the option "Make permanent ...", so you can save it to disk. If it is not present in 3.4, update to 3.10 LTR or to the latest 3.12
