When I write a layer as a shape file, it appears on my C: drive as six files, all with the same name but different extensions.  Then I zip those six into a single file (xxx.zip).  When I reload that layer from the zip file (Layer > AddLayer > VectorLayer > File > Dataset > xxx.zip), QGIS is almost smart enough to restore the layer correctly.  The polygon features are in the right place and their attribute table is correct. *My problem* is that it ignores one of the six files, the "style" file (xxx .qml) which  specifies color, labeling, and symbol).  Do I  have to unzip before restoring layer xxx ?  I know I could open the layer's properties and use  Style > Load Style from  file xxx.qml .  But when I'm restoring several layers that's a lot of key strokes (and may require that I unzip).  It seems to me that this shouldn't be necessary.  [I encounter the same problem with point layers and polygon layers.]
