[Qgis-user] Where to store style files (qml, sld) - best practices

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

I think he refers more to where to store style templates etc. At least
for me, I never managed to build something meaningful, and although I
always need the same kind of styles, I redo them evertime instead of
creating good templates for my use cases. The user directory which is
set by default is kind of vulnerable when removing old qgis versions or
doing other stupid stuff. An extra directory for such templates 
(styles, models, etc) is on my list ...

So, for the time beeing, my super-sophistcated styles just sit within my
project files, and I have to guess where I used which fancy trick to
achive something special.

Cheers,

Bernd
