When the Layer Properties was introduced in SkyJUMP, it was inspired by the
Windows explorer Properties option, which shows you static information such
as file size, but also lets you change some things such as read only or
shared status for one file or an entire selection. It wasn't envisioned as
an alternative to Change Style, but as a way to modify multiple layer's
differing styles at the same time. As such its scope is limited to style
parameters that can be varied continuously over a set range.
I just had a look at the new Style submenu. I like it! For this menu I
would think a new feature called something like Multilayer Change Style
or Change Style Batch would be nice. It would enable only when multiple
layers are selected, display the standard Change Style dialog, and allow
editing of all selected layers at once. The tricky part to implement would
be that it seems polite to grey (dim) all style attributes that had
differing values (as a warning).

Hi Larry,
That is a great beantool Michaël! It certainly demonstrates how much can
be accomplished with a little code.
If it was to be implemented as a plugin, we have space on the Style tab of
the Layer Properties dialog. It could be implemented as a slider like the
Transparency adjustment that proportionally adjusts line width, or by using
an option checkbox, make the slider change to absolute width. Both modes
would be useful.
Right, I forgot this place. And adding a component to change the line
width this way should not be too much work.
IMHO, this panel would be more easy to find in the new Style menu. What do
you think ?
I'm expecting read-only information when I open this layer properties
dialog. Maybe my
interpretation though.
Regards,
Michaël

Hi Jukka,
It would speed up things sometimes if some style settings could be edited
for all selected layers at once. Making lines wider width is the most
common case for me.
Agree with you.
Easy to solve with a script.
Doing a nice plugin, consistent with OpenJUMP style management and
style panels is much more work.
I would recommend a FeatureRequest (I think there are already several
FR related to styling, but unfortunately, there has not been work done
in this domain for a long time).
Attached is a small beantool doing the job.
Could be added to the distribution as an example of a beantool with a
small UI.
