Hi Nathan, Thanks for your reply. We'll switch to manually editing the qml-file for now.
However, I would say the feature could have been thought through a bit more. The button 'classify' now seems superfluous, and there is no way to prevent an update when changing layers. Perhaps the button 'classify' could be replaced by an option to automatically reclassify. Another option would be to add a classification scheme 'manual' which copies to the current classification when selected, but retains its values when changing columns. I think there are many users (I know 3 of them in my company) that create multiple maps with the same classification, so an update would be very welcome :) Tammo Jan -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Nathan Woodrow [mailto:madman...@gmail.com] Verzonden: donderdag 16 augustus 2012 9:49 Aan: Tammo Jan Dijkema CC: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org Onderwerp: Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology: switch off automatic classification Hey Tammo, This is a feature as having to click classify each time when changing the values was confusing to users so I changed how it works a while ago. Currently there is no way to turn it off. You could save out the qgis qml file and hand edit it to have the new column. - Nathan On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 5:21 PM, Tammo Jan Dijkema <dijk...@hypercube.nl> wrote: > I'm using qgis 1.8 to create graduated maps of multiple data columns. > For this, I use the new symbology implementation, with graduated > colors.
