Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology export for Geopackage?

Hi, I agree, It could very nice if in the save as dialog we can have a hint about what is "Feature Symbology" and "Symbol layer symbology"and which one we should use. 2017-02-05 21:53 GMT+01:00 Andreas Neumann : > Hi Morten, > > This is about saving OGR feature styles (e.g.

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology export for Geopackage?

Hi Morten, This is about saving OGR feature styles (e.g. for DXF and KML export). It has nothing to do with QGIS styles. I agree though, that it is a bit confusing and one of those things that should be improved or removed in QGIS 3. Andreas On 05.02.2017 21:38, magerlin wrote: OK -

OK - thanks. In what situation can the Symbology Export in the "save as" dialogue be used? - Regards Morten Currently using Qgis 2.18.3 (OSGeo4), Windows 7, 64bit -- View this message in context:

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology export for Geopackage?

Hi Morten, The current way of saving styles in geopackage is through the Layer properties dialogue --> "Style" tab. If your data source is Geopackage it will offer to save the style in the same geopackage. It is the same way as you would save a style in Postgis or in SpatiaLite. If you

[Qgis-user] Symbology export for Geopackage?

The Geopackage seems like a nice format for exchanging data, symbology etc. in one file and I can manually from layer properties store the layer style in the Geopackage. But already when I choose "save as" in the layers panel to add my data to the geopackage I am presented with the possibility to

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Joris, Thanks, that's useful and kind of does what I want though it does seem to have a number of bugs that mean I'm unlikely to be able to use it. Don't suppose you (or anyone) knows where the tracker for it is? Its plugin page points to itself being the tracker. :-S Cheers, Jonathan On 10

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Jonathan, This was originally introduced for DXF export to keep symbology as good as it can - which is now in its separate function (Project - DXF Export) and not in the save layer as anymore. It uses the OGR feature styling, which in itself is rather limiting. This isn't widely implemented

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Andreas, Thanks for the information. I'd suggest it should probably be removed until/unless it is fleshed out as you note. Either that or changed to be a Datasource option specific for DXF. Should I open a ticket for this? Cheers, Jonathan On 10 March 2014 14:35, Andreas Neumann

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi, Actually it is not tied to DXF, but DXF was the reason why it was introduced. It is just generic OGR feature styling. Maybe it should be removed/hidden/disabled because DXF now has its separate export. Maybe assign Marco Hugentobler to this ticket as he worked on this. Unless someone wants

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Andreas, I don't believe QGIS exports any KML styling. I was interested in doing a full style KML export and got this - http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/styling-a-KML-KMZ-file-using-QGIS-td4125929.html- seems not to be possible. I'll open a ticket for removing/hiding it. I'd suggest you

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Jonathan, The thread you are quoting is from 2011. The OGR feature styling was introduced later (in late 2012 or early 2013 I think). So did you really test KML export with Feature symbology or symbol layer symbology? I just tested it with QGIS master and with line features and different

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Andreas, I'm testing with a simple polygon that's using the default style QGIS gave it (so basically black border and a random fill colour). I've exported using both options - all I get in the KML file is a black border, no fill. I can change the colour of the border in QGIS and it changes in

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Jonathan, I can only partially confirm what you describe. I agree that for area feature the feature styling does not work for KML. However, for line features, it works fine and there is a difference between the three options. The no symbology only exports a single line color, the feature

Re: [Qgis-user] Symbology Export

Hi Jonathan, I think this option should be disabled if a format does not support feature styling. I don't know if OGR provides this information? http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_kml.html says about KML: Limited support is available for fills, line color and other styling attributes. Please try a few
