Having a specific memory storage have pros and cons that you explained very well Chris. From a user point of view, one drawback is that if something goes wrong in memory layer loading whe project opens, or on memory layer save, data is lost. So User will for sure ask for a "Add memory layer" provi

I don't know much about the memory layer handling - but here are some thoughts: I think Jürgen's idea makes a lot of sense: keep in-memory spatialite database, and save/restore when the project is saved/opened. And the user can export the layer to a preferred format if he/she wishes. Perhaps this

Hi all. Now that there is much work on refactoring the raster classes, wouldn't it be the right time to implement a series of colour ramps to be applied, instead of having only the current ugly blue-red one, based on equal intervals? The 1-band plugin is a very good guidance for this. The current s

I was thinking about that, we could leverage the existing colorramps for vectors. We should probably refactor QgsVectorColorRampV2 as QgsColorRamp, and if need be create 2 subclasses (vector, raster). We could probably use existing dialogs pretty easily also, and do the same. Unless there is a f

Good points. I'm thinking perhaps the solution is to use Sqlite/spatialite (don't get me wrong - I like and use spatialite a lot). But perhaps use the python spatialite driver directly, rather than the QgsVectorFileWriter class as I am currently doing, as I cannot see any OGR options for writi
