[Qgis-user] Column selection in Styles dialog breaks styles in latest master
Am I confused? Just updated to the latest master build this morning and I was working on styling some OpenStreetMap data and it was only applying styles to the values in the Categorised list for the column selected in the drop-down … for example highway, waterway etc … so if I had styles applied to the values of stream and river and then changed the drop-down to highways to add more classifications for footways, roads etc then the waterway styles wouldn't apply. Whilst the fundamental design of the Styles dialog hasn't changed I'm sure that this behaviour is new … that previously the column drop-down wasn't a setting, it was just a precursor to further classifications. That said, I'm a novice user and I haven't touched QGIS in a month so it could just be my memory or that I've never tried to style both waterways and tracks in the one OSM polyline layer … Cheers, Nathanael Boehm UX designer specialising in business web mobile apps www.purecaffeine.com http://www.purecaffeine.com/professional/ Canberra, Australia ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Hey Nathanael, The behaviour of the renderer hasn't changed between 1.8 and 2.0. You can still add new values by changing the column and pressing classify. It will ask you if you want to delete what is there or add to it. The renderer will look in the selected column for each value, so if it's set to highway but you have values like bikepath that isn't going to match. You can need to classify based on two columns I would use the rule based rendering. - Nathan On Fri, Jul 12, 2013 at 1:50 PM, Nathanael Boehm nbo...@purecaffeine.comwrote: Am I confused?

Okay thanks Nathan — guess I just didn't notice that behaviour before; will use rule-based instead otherwise I'm going to end up with 8 OSM layers.
