 Hi Regis,

 do you intend this :

 ImportProject is a plugin that lets you load layers from another project
 file. Just select a project (.qgs) file,

 check off the layers you wish to load, and it will include them in your
 current project with all styling.

 Works with vector, raster, database and web service layers.



Unfortunately, it throws error messages for me:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File 
C:/Users/Joost/.qgis2/python/plugins\importLayersFromProject\main.py, 
line 65, in run

 window.populateTable(filePath)
   File 
C:/Users/Joost/.qgis2/python/plugins\importLayersFromProject\LayerDialog.py, 
line 31, in populateTable

 info = getMapInfo(maps.item(i))
   File 
C:/Users/Joost/.qgis2/python/plugins\importLayersFromProject\LayerDialog.py, 
line 85, in getMapInfo
 return 
{'name':name,'ds':ds,'mtype':mtype,'geom':geom,'provider':provider}

 UnboundLocalError: local variable 'geom' referenced before assignment

Adding a project with absolute paths and without tile layers works, so I 
suggest to catch these cases before the error message occurs.


The plugin Homepage is a little odd:

http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/importLayersFromProject/

calls this bug tracker page:

http://hub.qgis.org/projects/ImportLayersFromProject

which does not exist. From the plugin page inside QGIS, these pages are 
not accessible either. I think you messed up with import and Import.


Greetings,
André Joost

Hi,

If you just want to embed layers or groups from other projects - this
functionality already exists in core. Embedded layers are read-only
(which is good in some situations, but bad in others).

For situations where you want to change the layers, you can use the
ImportProject plugin as already mentioned. At this stage the layer would
be an independent layer not linked to the project imported from anymore.

Embedded layers that are still linked have to be read-only, otherwise
they have to be copies.

I suggest a slightly different approach (which may not be all that different 
once the details are  worked out?) 


A project stores lots of info about more items than just a layer... but I often 
want to add a layer with the same style, actions, label, etc settings to 
several projects, or just to the current canvas without changing what is 
already in the canvas.

Does it seem useful to others to be able to store such info in a layer setup 
file rather than a QGIS project file, so layers can be opened with all such 
info attached  optionally read on opening?

Brent,

Perhaps I have misunderstood your question, but I think you can achieve
this simply by save style as default . Every time you will use the layer
in any QGIS project, the default style (which mean the default properties
of the layer) would be applied.

Re: [Qgis-developer] What about a qgis project add function ?

2014-03-02 Thread Brent Wood 
Hi Michael,

That is very close... (but does have a bug- #9687 - I can save a style, then 
try to load it for the same layer opened a second time  get an error:
 
error occurred while parsing reference at line 113 column 155)

The line in the QML file is the action, which is appended 
tolabeling/shapeFillColorB as well as an action later in the file.
property key=labeling/shapeFillColorB value=255/eom 
https://atlas.niwa.co.nz/login/SearchService?SERVICE_REQUEST_TYPE=100SERVICE_REQUEST_USERID=833SERVICE_REQUEST_ASSETID=[%
 atlas_id %]SERVICE_REQUEST_PASSKEY=public

(Change the Atlas_ID value to 247002 or 247224  open the URL in a browser to 
see the result if you are interested - it is for a map layer of echosounder 
transects to retrieve the echogram from our image management tool via a web 
service)


Anyway, apart from the bug, as I understand it, that allows me to save a style, 
which can then be applied to a layer, but does not inlude the layer data source.


I'd like to be able to open a layer  (sort of like a virtual dataset in ogr) by 
opening the QGIS layer file,  have the layer load  all settings applied 
automatically. Currently I need to open a layer, open properties, select style, 
load style, apply style every time I load the layer.


Cheers,

Brent

Thanks André, 
I will have a look at it, I just ported the plugin to 2.0 after having asked
the permission from Barry, but I admit I did very little tests! 
Geo DrinX, can you tell me if you're going to work on that? I'm planning my
budgets for the on-going year, and I have that on my list (low priority). I
would fund the checkbox in embed layer dialog, and maybe an option in open
project dialog to ask for opening as new or append to current project.
Opinions on that second option? I'm experimenting it in a French plugin
(create menu), and I must say it's quite convenient to add the whole
project, and drop the layers I don't need. This is pure ergonomy, maybe we
should discuss it in UX list
