Description

I am a web developer and I mostly store data in geojson format. When i add data to QGIS every layer shows up with name "OGRGeoJSON" in layer box. Is there a way to Name the layers according to filename.

also restore style for file based layers (followup dfff717a0) and
use file name for GeoJSON layers (fixes #10711)

can you please attach a sample of your data?

Confirmed,

Every time you add a geoJSON layer via add vector command to map canvas the default layer name is OGRGeoJSON instead of reading the filename

Would be much more intuitive if it used filename as default specially if you load several ones

Just to add to this, if you drag & drop the geojson file it does preserve the filename, so this issue only happens using add vector command. IMHO adding files via browser and add vector command should work the same to have the same User Experience

Reason is probably that the GDAL GeoJSON driver finds the layer as "OGRGeoJSON". Perhaps this should be discussed with GDAL developers. I don't know if GeoJSON can contain more than one layer or if it is possible to give a name to the layer(s).
