Description

After adding a style file (*.qgs) to a layer (vector or raster) clicking the cancel button instead of OK button this bug occurs. It applies the style to layer, but the layer legend does not change. Here is sample video

Also I noticed that the layer opacity never changes by loading new style file. For example I saved a (.qgs) style file with 40% opacity. After that i changed layer color style and opacity to %60. Now loading my first (.qgs) style file but layer opacity doesn't change (it must be %40)

Pressing the X is equal to cancel. You still have to press OK or Apply to apply the style.

Closing as invalid because that is how it is meant to work.

1- Problem
By using Cancel button or X(Exit) button are same but the problem is that of course. Normally in other GIS desktop softwares like Udig, ArcGIS etc... users load style to a layer. And than users click Apply-OK button to apply changes. If not layer style wont change. But in QGIS when users load a style it automatically applies, it doesnt ask anything to user. And clicking Cancel button or X(Exit) button +do not recover style to back.

1- Suggestion
In my opinion;
A. Case: user loads a qml file. And than he changes a little bit and than click Apply-OK button for applying all changes.
B. Case: user loads a qml file. He doesnt like color class (by looking color table, still not clicked Apply button). So he clicks Cancel button for canceling the style.

2- Problem.
Layer opacity doesnt change by loading qml file. It is fixed (interestingly), only changed by hand. It must read opacity level from qml file (Also it reads opacicity level but i dont know why it doesnt apply).

Yes your right. Sorry I must have missed it in the video, not sure how.

However I'm not going to have time to fix this at the moment.

With the redesign of the style dialog, I think this is not an issue anymore. Please reopen if necessary.
